How to use javascript to check to see if a logged in user has bought a subscription.

Hey all, I need to allow a user to access a part of my website if they have bought a subscription product. The customer will have to log in before I do this check.

Is there a way to check to see if a user has purchased a subscription project with Javascript?

No. There's no effective way to protect Squarespace content like this.

What do you mean by protect?

You said that you only want to allow a website visitor to be able to access a part of your website unless they have purchased a product. Therefore you presumably want to protect these parts of your site from being accessed by all other visitors?

Okay. Sorry, I misunderstood you.

Yes. You are correct. Sorry, I've just never heard it that way. So yeah, if a user has not purchased a subscription either don't show them a page, or don't allow them access.

I don't want to store the non-subscription and subscription pages in HTML since a user could just un-hide the HTML for subscription users only. I don't think Squarespace would allow me to do that. Additionally, I don't think squarespace allows access to their servers anyway.

Yes, there's no way to do this with Squarespace alone. You don't have access to the backend. You could buy a third party addon like MemberSpace and process the membership subscriptions on this instead. It can then lock access to certain protected content - but not the content on Squarespace's own pages. It's not technically possible.

There are 3rd party things to do that? I wish I knew that. I'll take a look at them.

@Paul2009 thank you for your fast reply. I wasn't thinking anyone would reply.

I didn't mean for this to be an answer. Sigh.

No problem :-)
