gregaitch Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Putting together a website – still in trial – with a member area. Previewing the site via its Squarespace development URL and clicking the link to the membership area takes my client to to a Join/Sign in page. Clicking either of those pops up a box: MEMBERSHIPS IS CLOSED Memberships for this site is closed. Contact the site owner for access. DISMISS Is there any way for the client to preview the membership pages via the development URL? Link to comment

Is there any way for the client to preview the membership pages via the development URL? Unfortunately this is one of the two very frustrating limitations of the Member Areas product. It makes it so difficult to agree the workflow with clients because they cannot preview the onboarding process or setup a member area account/subscription until they've committed to purchase Member Areas. However if you make your client a contributor, they will be able to view the member area page content, even though they cannot test the onboarding or the Member Areas account features. gregaitch 1 About: SQSP User for 17 yrs.

gregaitch Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks @paul2009. Settled for dragging the pages out of the Member area into Unlinked pages, and explaining they'd be behind a Sign-in page. Trial site is password-protected anyhoo. On this, wondering if Squarespace Member area supports non-password access, ie provide email address and tick declaration box, once. Content doesn't rate that much security and audience won't appreciate the extra password. Link to comment
Meeeee Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I came upon this -- trying to find a way to preview the member area and the user experience -- without literally having to buy my own membership, but alas, there isn't a way. I am dumfounded and shocked since 2 years have passed and this isn't integrated. But then again, you can't even have the same content in multiple membership tiers either, you can't copy it over, you have to literally make new pages or use Memberspace plugin for additional money. Pretty cray. Link to comment
