How to limit article views per subscription plan in Webflow and Memberstack with category preferences?

I have a couple of queries with the view to implementing a Webflow-Memberstack integration for the first time for a client who is requesting the following for their news subscription site where they want users to sign up to one of two subscription plans:

Limited articles per month
Each plan needs to have restrictions as to how much content is available per month for the user when they are logged in or logged out.

For example
Logged out: Can see four new articles per month.
Basic Plan: Can see seven new articles per month.
Premium Plan: Unlimited articles per month.
Category choice
Can it be set up so that Premium subscribers can select their favourite categories?

How would you go about allowing for the set amount of new articles for different subscribers?
Would each article be set up as a product (or something else) so the subscriber can select their allotted amount each month?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

all of this is possible 🙂

There are a few ways you could do it!

I would probably do the following;
1. Have some custom code which adds something to their member JSON when they read an article
2. Have some custom code on the article page which gets their member JSON and checks how many articles there are in the member JSON
3. Set something up (maybe using make) to clear their member JSON when the plan renews

Hello future readers,

In order to limit articles that a user can access, you can explore this memberscript for your project.

And for marking something as favorite, you can use this memberscript to store it efficiently within Memberstack's data tables.

Hope this helps.
