Approve New Members

A. Create an Account While Applying

Step 1 → Allow members to create an account, but don't put them on a plan or grant access to any content doesn't grant access to anything. We recommend redirecting new members to a "Pending approval" page where you explain the process.

Also, you can use our Make or Zapier integrations to send yourself and/or the member an alert when they sign up.

Step 2 → Once you decide a member is approved, you can manually change their plan or ask them to purchase a paid plan via a members-only pricing page.

Note: Memberstack does not send emails on-plan-change at this time. You'll need to alert members by email if they're approved or denied.

B.  Create an Account After Applying

Step 1 → Have members submit a standard contact form (this is nice because you'll receive an alert when new members "sign up").

Step 2 → Once you decide to approve a member, you can send them a link to a secret sign-up form or manually add them to a free plan on your site.
