What Is Squarespace Member Areas?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:46 am

As a business owner, you’re always looking for ways to improve your website and make it more user-friendly for your customers. One way to do this is to add a Squarespace Member Area.

This will allow you to create a separate, password-protected area on your website where you can share exclusive content with your members. For example, you could use your Member Area to share:

– Special offers and discounts
– Exclusive video content
– Behind-the-scenes photos
– Detailed product information

Adding a Squarespace Member Area is a great way to give your customers more value and make your website more engaging. Plus, it’s easy to set up and doesn’t require any coding knowledge. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a Squarespace Member Area to your website.

First, you’ll need to create a new page on your Squarespace website. To do this, log into your account and click on the “Pages” tab in the left-hand sidebar. Then, click the “Add Page” button at the top of the page.

On the next screen, you’ll need to choose a template for your new page. For our purposes, we’ll choose the “blank” template. However, feel free to choose any template you like.

PRO TIP: Squarespace Member Areas is a feature that allows you to create and manage private member-only areas on your website. This feature is only available on the Squarespace Business and Commerce plans.

If you enable this feature, anyone who tries to access a member-only area of your website will be redirected to a login page. Only members who have an account with your Squarespace site will be able to log in and access the content in these areas.

It’s important to note that member-only areas are not secure and should not be used to store sensitive information. Also, because they are not password-protected, anyone who knows the URL of a member-only area can access it.

Once you’ve chosen a template, give your new page a name (for example, “Member Area”) and click the “Create Page” button.

Next, you’ll need to add some content to your new page. For our purposes, we’ll just add a heading and some text explaining what our members will get access to.

However, you can add any type of content you like. To do this, simply click on the “Add Content” button and start adding content blocks.

Once you’ve added all of the content you want, click the “Save” button at the top of the page.

Now that your page is created and saved, it’s time to password protect it. To do this, click on the “Settings” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then click on the “Password Protection” option.

On the next screen, check the box next to “Enable Password Protection.” Then, enter a password in the “Password” field and click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.

That’s it! Your Squarespace Member Area is now ready for use. When someone visits your page, they’ll be prompted to enter the password before they can view any of its content.
