Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about setting up trial periods for Squarespace memberships using MemberSpace.
Does Squarespace support free trials for memberships?
Squarespace’s native member areas offer very limited trial options, so setting custom trial lengths for each plan isn’t really possible.
How do trial periods work in MemberSpace?
With MemberSpace, you can add a free trial to any member plan and set the exact trial length you want before billing begins.
Can I set different trial lengths for different plans?
Yes! Every membership tier can have its own trial length.
What happens when a trial ends?
When the trial period ends, members are billed automatically and keep their access without any interruption.
Can members cancel during the trial?
Yes. Members can cancel before the trial ends and won’t be charged, which helps build trust.
Can I manage trials easily from the MemberSpace dashboard?
Absolutely. MemberSpace gives you a simple interface to turn trials on, off, or adjust their length whenever you like.
How does this fit with Squarespace member sites?
Since Squarespace’s native member sites don’t offer flexible trials, MemberSpace fills that gap with custom trial periods. Learn more.
