What's the simplest and easiest way to create user accounts w/auth + manage subscriptions?
Right now my entire site is just static assets with a stripe payment processor that goes to AWS Lambda to charge the card.
I don't want to create user account/email verification/password reset flow/custom code for displaying/editing CC info.
Is there not some product out there that can manage all of this for me? All I want is to be able to load in a client side library that can handle user sign in/and display their info.
It would be amazing if Stripe handled all of this for me. But it looks like I might need some combination of Firebase and Stripe?
Check into MemberSpace and/or MemberStack. They add memberships, which are essentially subscriptions, to any website (I think neither actually says "any" website, but it's just a code snippet). They also allow you to hide/show pages or sections based on whether someone is signed in or not... could be useful.
MemberStack is memberstack.io
MemberSpace is memberspace.com
Or check nocodelist.co/?categories=Memberships (there's a link to site that uses MemberStack on there)
Wow, this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I didn't think to use the terms "gated content" and "member". They both look good (and I'm surprised they're not related). I'm surprised they both explicitly state they support static HTML/CSS, which is exactly what I was looking for (much easier than dealing with changing your entire backend). Memberspace seem to be built around Stripe which is perfect for me.
Thanks!
Awesome 👍
Hi there,
I'm working on a project to do exactly this. We're opening up an early access beta soon. Would you be able to spare 10 mins to chat about the project that you're working on and the challenges you're facing? My email is on my profile if you want to chat :)
Thanks for your offer. Maybe sometime in the coming weeks as I try to figure out exactly what it is I need and I look into memberstack/memberspace.
Basically you need customers to be able to manage their subscriptions without creating a database at your end. I have used gumroad.com which can issue a license key. I use the license key to verify authenticity pinging the gumroad api. Customers can use their email and manage their account. No database. This may help.
Thanks for the link but after looking through that site I'm still not really sure what it does (and it looks like I can just use Stripe for the features it has).
👍 well if Stripe can do what Gumroad can I do not find a reason for an issue. Anyways. You are the best judge for your case. Looping @sahil into this if it helps. Keep growing!!!
It's unlikely to be a fit for this use case imo.
Sorry for the late reply.
Here is how I am doing it for a use case.
Have included a text field in the Gumroad purchase form wherein the customer is prompted to enter their full profile URL.
Gumroad issues the license key on purchase which is then entered by the customer in the profile.
When the profile is loaded, a tiny script pings Gumroad & cross-checks the license key against the profile URL to authenticate the license.
Not sure if this is the right way. It works for me pretty fine.
Hey @jumprite
It's been about two and half months so you may have already found a solution, but to riff on @truedrew and his comment a quick path to victory would be Webflow with MemberStack (as mentioned).
If that route is at all of interest to you (and you haven't already solved your problem) I wanted to let you know that I've just posted a video screencast doing this this.

Would love to know if this was helpful!
