What You Can Build

Here's What You Can Build with Content Gating

Designers and developers use Memberstack to launch membership businesses in days, not months. Here's what becomes possible when you stop hiring developers and start shipping.

Online Courses🎵

Launch a course platform in hours, not days.

Master The Handpan gates individual lessons based on completion. Students unlock Module 2 only after finishing Module 1. No custom backend. Setup time: 10 minutes.

Component Libraries🧩

Build a solo business without hiring developers.

Free users preview components, paid members download everything, enterprise clients get custom work. Element-level control protects his IP.

Content Blogs📝

Turn blog readers into subscribers with paywalls.

Show first 2–3 paragraphs free (Google loves this for SEO), gate the rest for paying subscribers. Readers see exactly what they're missing. Non-intrusive, converts quietly.

SaaS Products

Scale a component library into a SaaS company.

Free users browse, Pro users download, Enterprise users get API access. Progressive feature unlocking encourages upgrades at every tier.

Element-Level Gating🎯

Gate individual buttons, not entire pages (competitors can't do this).

Hide "Download" buttons for free users. Show "Export to Figma" only to Pro members. Display "Advanced Settings" for Enterprise accounts. Element-level precision rated 99/100.

Membership Tiers🔓

Build membership tiers that unlock progressively.

Free members see previews. Starter members get basic features. Pro members unlock everything. Managed automatically based on Stripe subscription status — no manual upgrades.

Video Content🎬

Protect premium content without looking desperate.

Gate video embeds with elegant overlays. Show beautiful "Upgrade to unlock" CTAs that match your brand. No clunky iframes or generic paywalls screaming for money.

The Memberstack Difference

Yes, our transaction fees are higher than some alternatives. But you get element-level gating that others can't match (rated 99/100), 600+ components that save months of work, and you keep your Webflow design without being forced into generic templates.

Hiring developers: $5,000+ upfront + $4,000+/year maintenance = $9,000+ first year

All-in-one platforms: $2,000–$3,000/year but abandon Webflow and use their templates

Memberstack: $348–$1,188/year + fees, keep your design, get 600+ components

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Rated 99/100 for Content Gating Precision (Best in Class)

Element-level control that competitors can't match. Gate entire pages, specific sections, individual buttons, or custom elements. While others only let you gate full pages, Memberstack gives you surgical precision.

Granular Control (Our Superpower)

Gate entire pages, specific sections, individual buttons, or custom elements. Hide pricing tables, feature sections, or download buttons based on plan level, payment status, or custom rules.

Works in Webflow Natively

Built specifically for Webflow. No iframes, no clunky embeds. Your design stays pixel-perfect.

600+ Pre-Built Components

Gated content sections, paywalls, upgrade prompts — copy, paste, customize. Competitors have 5–10 templates.

Payment Status Awareness

Automatically show/hide content based on whether payment succeeded, failed, or is in trial period.

Custom Rules & Logic

Gate by plan AND location, payment status AND signup date, or any combination using custom fields.

No Backend Code Required

Authentication, session management, access control — handled automatically. You add a data attribute, we handle the rest.

How It Works

Simple Now, Powerful Later

Start with simple data attributes. Graduate to custom logic when you need it. You control the complexity.

Start with simple data attributes. Memberstack handles authentication, checks payment status, and shows/hides content automatically.

Step 1Add a data attribute to any element
<div data-ms-content="plan-id">
  This content only shows to members with "plan-id"
</div>
Step 2Choose who sees it
  • Show to all logged-in members
  • Show only to specific plans (free, starter, pro)
  • Show only to paid members
  • Show only to members who signed up after X date
Step 3Done

Memberstack handles authentication, checks payment status, and shows/hides content automatically.

Time to implement: 30 seconds per element

Can't be bothered to write data attributes? Copy one of our 600+ pre-built components.

@sarah_builds Just launched my course platform in 3 days using Memberstack. 🎉
@mike_dev How do I gate a specific section but keep the rest visible? The element-level gating is incredible.
@duncan (founder) Add data-ms-content="plan-id" to that element. Takes 30 seconds!
