Webflow Commenting for Product Wishlist Items
Streamline early user feedback in your product development process with comments on wishlist items, creating a collaborative space where customer insights directly shape your roadmap and foster a community of engaged users who feel heard.
Prioritization of Product Features
Customer comments can help you gauge the popularity and demand for certain features or products, enabling you to prioritize development efforts based on what your customers are most excited about or interested in.
Spotting Trends and Patterns
Analyzing comments on wishlist items can reveal emerging trends and patterns in customer preferences, helping you stay ahead of the market and develop products that are likely to succeed.
Community-Driven Product Development
Comments create a space for customers to discuss and validate each other's ideas, fostering a sense of community and collaborative innovation around your product offerings.
Encouraging Transparency and Building Trust
By allowing open discussions on wishlist items, you demonstrate transparency in your development process. This openness can build trust with customers, as they see you’re actively listening to and considering their feedback.
How it works
Add fully customizable commenting to a Webflow project. No coding is required; it's maintenance-free and comes with built-in moderation features, permission, user accounts, edit, delete, and reply functionality. Notifications, real-time commenting, and public profiles are in the roadmap.

Getting Started
We recommend starting with one of our cloneables - we've already released one for blog comments, one for live stream comments, and one for video comments. Click here for the full list of cloneable components.
Commenting will be a paid add-on - however, any paid Memberstack apps with at least one comment before January 1, 2024, will have raised limits on the free plan and heavily discounted pricing - for life!
Structure/Overview
There are something like 60 unique attributes in the commenting UI, so be very careful when updating the HTML structure. Frequent testing will be key to avoiding frustrating debugging sessions.
Each commenting section is called a "Channel" and has an attribute of data-ms-channel="". If the Channel ID is empty, then Memberstack will look to the page slug to decide where to save the comments, and when to load them. Inside of a channel are your posts and threads.
Public Custom Fields
Ensure that custom fields used in your commenting UI are marked as 'public'. This allows you to build your own usernames displayed with comments using the data attributes:
Note: If the field value is empty, the default text in your commenting UI will appear instead.
data-ms-post-creator="Your_Field_id"
data-ms-thread-creator="Your_Field_id"
Ordering Posts & Threads
Utilize the two available attributes to adjust the order as needed.
data-ms-channel-sort="newest" // default is oldest
data-ms-thread-sort="newest" // default is oldest
Pagination
Use the following attributes to set the maximum number of posts or threads to load at a time.
data-ms-post-load="100" // default 50 & max 100
data-ms-thread-load="100" // default 20 & max 100
Multiple Sections Per Page
If you want to display multiple commenting sections on a single page you'll need to manually set the Channel ID using the data-ms-channel="Your_Channel_ID" attribute.
Waiting for Moderation
If you enable moderation settings in the dashboard, or flag a comment as spam/hidden, we will display a message to the commenter. Place the following attributes on a div containing your "Wait for Moderation" prompt. Note there are 2 attributes. 1 for posts and 1 for threads.
data-ms-post="hidden"
data-ms-thread="hidden"
Constraints
Max character count for a post or thread is 5,000 characters.
Formatting is unavailable at this time.
Creating Moderators
In Memberstack's dashboard, admins can grant 'moderator' roles to members. Moderators have the authority to edit or delete any post, ensuring a clean and positive community environment.
Community Building
It allows users to connect and discuss, creating a sense of community around your brand or content, which can enhance customer loyalty and brand affinity.
