How to develop Memberstack on Webflow staging without breaking OAuth and component links?

Hey everyone, pleasure to be here. I’m trying to set up memberstack with webflow and running into a few things. 1. OAuth via Google can only be set up on a custom domain, and not on a staging webflow.io server? - it’s unclear to me how to then develop without breaking the production server 2. When I copy and paste a memberstack component into Webflow, I always great broken links, is this expected? Now I am starting to see it on a cloned template. It puts a hamper on the ability to deploy. Thanks for your input, Angelo

Hi Angelo,

You're right about a few things here. Let's break it down:
1. Google OAuth requires a verified custom domain because it needs to match the authorized domains in the Google Cloud Console. Unfortunately, webflow.io domains aren't considered secure custom domains. A workaorund would be to set up a subdomain (like staging.yourdomain.com) on your custom domain specifically for testing. This allows you to develop without affecting the production environment while maintaining OAuth functionality.
2. Broken links** **might happen due to missing attributes, incorrect script placements, or conflicts during the copy-paste process.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Ensure you've added the Memberstack embed script where the component is used.
- Double-check that the Memberstack attributes (data-ms-*) remain intact after pasting.
- If cloning a template, confirm the Memberstack settings and URLs match between both projects.

I hope this helps.
