Issues with redirects and gated content Answered
Hello everyone, Hope you are doing well! 😃
We are currently using Memberstack for selling our courses through subscription plans. We are currently using the freemium model approach to provide a 6-week course to our users and access to the course is only possible once the users register with us using the signup form.
We currently have 2 groups of users, One of them is free (The user gets access to the course by registering with us) and another group is for the paid user (The user gets access by purchasing the course). Currently, we are having trouble with the redirects and gated content. So could someone of you please kindly help us with our issue, it will be highly appreciated as we are facing trouble with user flow.
Our Requirement:
- For Free users: The user gets access only to Week 1 of the course and when a user tries to click on any of the pages of Week 2 - Week 6, User gets redirected to the pricing subscription plan.
- For Paid users: The user gets access to all 6 weeks once they make the purchase.
Thank you for your help in advance and I wish you a nice time ahead!
Regards,
Shaun.

Julian Galluzzo Thank you so much for your quick reply and support, appreciate it 🙂
Here's a video which should point you in the right direction, and also a template! https://www.loom.com/share/fa955f56aaaa423e9e97b82387da8276

Additional note:
Set the "access denied" url for the paid courses to be your pricing page 😃
Julian Galluzzo Thank you once again for the brief explanation video, it is really helpful. So currently, We just have pages developed normally on webflow and we do not have any CMS Collection. So would you say that we need to create 2 different CMS collection? One for free users and one for paid users? 🙂
Also we would like to use our template, so it that possible? 😃
Glad to hear it!
You won't need to make collection lists, but you will need to apply the same logic - have some sort of URL identifier (perhaps a folder) to separate the free and paid course items, then gate them in Memberstack based off that!
I see, So what if I create a folder called Free users and add Week 1 course pages to the folder and create another folder called paid users and add Week 1-6 course pages to that folder?
Our concern here is, Do we need to duplicate pages for Week 1 for our paid users? 🙂
As we are already using Week 1 pages for our free users, how do we also allow access to Week 1 to our paid users?
No problem there! Since you are gating the free pages by users who have an account, the paid users will also be able to access them.
You will just need to add a navigation element to go between these pages, and then add the correct attribute to the links that go to the paid pages, so only paying users can see them
Alright great, thanks! I will try out this process and get back to you if there's anything more. Have a good one! 😃
Perfect, let me know if you get stuck - have a great day! 😃
