What platform do you use for member forum?

I want to create a paid member area on my website with class content as well as have a section where members can interact with comments and questions and reply to each other.

It will depend on the complexity you require.

Member Areas allows you monetise standard Squarespace content by placing it behind a "paywall". For example it is possible to share pre-recorded classes using Video Pages, and share details of upcoming virtual events and group workshops using Event Pages. However, you'll need to host live events using a different platform because Squarespace doesn't have this capability, nor does it have a discussion/forum feature.

If you plan to build an extensive offering, where customers track their progress through classes you may want to consider an alternative solution to Member Areas, such as Teachable which integrates with Disqus for discussions. Other platforms include Kajabi and Podia.
