Lesson notes
How it works
Why your members need redirects
When someone signs up or logs in, neither Memberstack nor Webflow knows where they should go next, so by default they stay on the same page. Redirects fix that. You tell Memberstack which page to load at three moments: right after signup, after login and after logout.
Each one has a job. The signup redirect welcomes new members, and you can use it for onboarding or to track conversions. Memberstack also uses it when a member verifies their email address. The login redirect usually points to your members-only area, often a dashboard. The logout redirect confirms they've been logged out, and goes to the home page if you don't change it.
How to set your default redirects
Redirects take a page slug, so create the page in Webflow first and note its slug, for example /success.
- In Webflow, create and publish the page new members should land on, such as
/success. - In your Memberstack dashboard, click Plans in the side menu.
- Click Default Settings under the plans list.
- Open the On Signup tab, enter your page slug and click Save.
- Do the same on the On Login and On Logout tabs.
- Sign up as a test member on your published site and check you land on the new page.
How plan, member and form redirects override the defaults
Default redirects apply to every member. A plan can override them: open the plan, expand Redirects and set its own On Signup page, so free members and paid members can land in different places. Below that, a single member can have their own login redirect, and a form with a hard-coded redirect overrides everything else, though Memberstack doesn't recommend that for most projects.
Redirects must be relative links on your own site. You can't send members to another website or subdomain after signup, login, checkout or logout.
