Guest Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Trying to figure out if the Members Area feature wlil work for us. We want to post content on our site that we don't want public. We want it gated so that we know who's viewing our content. We think just creating a free membership for users to sign up and look at our content will work. However we don't want just anyone to sign up. We want to review and approve requests before we let members in to our gated area. Is that possible? Link to comment
LachyNicolson Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Same problem. No word from Squarespace at all on this. It's crazy how little communication / lack of roadmap around members area. I have three client I would love to build on SQ Members Area but it's heavily lacking features. Most of the unanswered questions in this forum lead me to think they don't care anymore. kateatkins 1 Link to comment

Stupidly just built a members area to do just this (for a client) and now realised that it's not possible. I also wanted a custom form to collect certain information but can't figure that out either 😞 paul2009, kateatkins and Simon 3  John breathe.design Link to comment
kateatkins Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yep. I'm building an entire site around memberships only discovered this today. This is SUCH a basic requirement. I'm just so tired of basic things not being available on squarespace.... paul2009 1 Link to comment
Simon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I know the Squarespace product team probably never read these posts, but I'd like to see more customisation available on the member signup form. I haven't been able to implement memberships for any of my clients as they all want more detail in the signup process, i.e. more than just an email and name, they want to collect other details as a way of qualifying membership, preventing just anyone signing up randomly and to know more about the member so they can segment their marketing.
