rsca Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Hello, I can't find this information doesn't matter how I search it. Is member area an extra cost to my website? I'm on the business plan, do I have to also pay for the member area if I want to have it or is it included in my plan? I can't find this information anywhere and I'm starting to think this doesn't work for what I want to do. I appreciate any insights.
creedon Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Please see Member Areas. There are also support articles available on member areas that you can search for.

rsca Posted July 27, 2023 Author Posted July 27, 2023 The answer is very vague and I still have no idea. Instead of simply answering my question you tell me to do what I've been doing for two days. thanks!

Member Areas (MA) - now renamed Member Sites (since August 2023) - requires a separate Digital Products subscription. It is not included in website plans.

It's not clear because it appears in my website builder, but it doesn't say I need to pay or subscribe to anything else. Thanks! coldwhitefire and StudioRen 2

Turbiville Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) again Squarespace clearly thinks every new person to the platform just knows stuff automatically. That link that paul2009 answered with, just says a bunch of stuff about courses and what it costs to use that feature. It says nothing about the difference between Member sites and courses... just way to confusing and pushing me towards Kajabi by the minute. Also why do people take the time to say "go google it" when answering in a forum. This really makes a forum useless if members just say go google it. We are not all professional site builders and don't all speak developer-ese Edited September 9, 2023 by Turbiville

It says nothing about the difference between Member sites and courses. Correct @Turbiville. The original poster was asking about Member Areas (now called Member Sites). At that time, Squarespace hadn't launched or even announced Courses. Now that the Digital Products ecosystem has been expanded to include Courses, there's now a lot to wrap your head around. I've already replied to your other post about Courses. I hope that provides you with some useful context. Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.
