If you’ve been building your website with Showit, you already know why people love it — it’s beautiful, flexible, and built for creatives who care about design. You can drag and drop anything exactly where you want it. But there’s one thing Showit doesn’t have built in: membership functionality.
The good news? You can still create a full-featured membership site right on your Showit website — thanks to MemberSpace.
In just a few minutes, you can add members-only content, set up payments, and start growing a recurring revenue stream, all while keeping your Showit design exactly how you like it.
Let’s walk through it step by step.
Launch a membership site on Showit!
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!
Get started for free! 5 minutes to set up.
Step 1: Sign up for MemberSpace
Head to MemberSpace and create your account. When you’re setting it up:
- Click “Use my existing website.”
- When it asks which platform your website is on, select Showit.
- Add your website URL and business name.
That’s it — you’re ready to connect MemberSpace to your Showit site.
Step 2: Install MemberSpace on Your Showit Website
This part takes about 40 seconds. MemberSpace gives you a small code snippet and walks you through exactly how to add it to your Showit site — no coding skills required. Once it’s installed, your site is ready to start uploading members-only content.
What It Looks Like on Your Site
When you install MemberSpace, you’ll notice a small floating “Member” button appear in the bottom right corner of your site. That’s your members’ access point — clean, subtle, and always visible.
When someone logs in, they’ll see a beautiful member dashboard that automatically displays all your exclusive content — everything they have access to, plus anything they’ve bookmarked or recent content you’ve added. It feels like a personalized library, so your members always know what’s new and what’s available to them.
Step 3: Add a Space
In MemberSpace, your content lives inside Spaces. Think of a Space as a private area that only your members can access.
You can upload files (PDFs, images, MP3s), embed videos (YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia), or even create posts directly inside MemberSpace — no need to touch your Showit design.
You can also:
- Organize your content into folders (and even nested folders).
- Drag and drop to reorder content or move it between Spaces.
- Create as many Spaces as you want — there’s no limit.
Each Space can be linked to one or more pricing plans, so you can sell access individually or bundle Spaces together for different membership tiers.
Step 4: Create a Pricing Plan
Now it’s time to decide how people will pay for access to your Spaces.
MemberSpace integrates seamlessly with Stripe, so you can securely charge for access however you’d like:
- Recurring subscriptions (monthly or yearly)
- One-time payments
- Multiple payments
- Or even free access for select members
You’re in complete control of how your membership works.
Step 5: Customize the Look and Feel
You can customize your fonts, colors, buttons, and forms to match your branding so everything feels seamless. MemberSpace gives you full control over the visual details, which means your members get a consistent experience from your Showit pages to your private member area.
It doesn’t look like a separate platform — it looks like your website, just with a members-only layer added on top.
Step 6: Share Your Showit Membership Site
Once everything’s ready, you’ll get a direct link to your MemberSpace. You can share it anywhere — on your Showit site, social media, email newsletters, or even in a DM.
When someone signs up, they’ll automatically get access to the Spaces tied to their plan. MemberSpace handles all the behind-the-scenes stuff like logins, payments, and member management.
