WhatsApp is a great tool for creators, coaches, and membership business owners looking to offer a live chat to their online community. With features like sub-groups, announcement groups, polls, video calls, and file sharing, WhatsApp makes it easy to create a home for your members to interact with you and each other.
However, one key feature WhatsApp lacks is the ability to create a paid community. That’s where MemberSpace comes in! By integrating MemberSpace with your WhatsApp community, you can:
- Provide members with a secure, private group link
- Charge for community access directly through your website
- Securely manage payments

The easiest way to accept membership payments or one-time charges for digital products like online courses, communities, content libraries, and more — all from your own website!

Step 2: Install MemberSpace on your website
Next, you’ll need to add MemberSpace to your website. Any CMS works! This will enable a signup/login area on your site so new members can pay to get access to your WhatsApp community.
Step 3: Protect your WhatsApp community
To ensure that only paying members get access to your private chat, you’ll need to set up a new Community in MemberSpace. Just add the name of your community and the URL, and then enable the Member Menu option, which will make your paid community link accessible via a floating button in the bottom right corner of your website.
✨ Community Tip: At any point in the future, you can add more offerings to your membership community with MemberSpace, like coaching sessions, template libraries, or podcast episodes! Simply add your content to your website and add the URLs to your Online Community in MemberSpace.
Step 4: Set a price for access to your WhatsApp community
Step 5: Share your community with new members
Once a new member signs up for your WhatsApp community, you can send them the invite link. The easiest way to do this is to copy the invite link and send it via email or text. You can use MemberSpace to send an automated welcome message including the link that will get sent out as soon as someone signs up on your website.
Final Thoughts
Combining WhatsApp and MemberSpace is a great way to create an exclusive, valuable community experience for your members. Setting up a paid WhatsApp community is simple and straightforward, even if you don’t have technical experience. With just a few steps, you can start accepting payments, protecting your community link, and inviting new members to join your group.
