  Hey Hyun Young Lee,

  Based on this video in the Business directory template page, you can opt for any paid plan (i.e. even if you opt for Basic paid plan in Memberstack), you will be able to get the template for the discounted price (i.e. $89).

  The costs are shared in detail in the video linked as well. But to give you some high level context, to launch your site (i.e. after you have tested things out in test mode site), you will anyway have to opt for a paid plan as per your requirements. So, in case you are purchasing a template, it could benefit you to have a Memberstack subscription beforehand, so that you get the template at discounted price.

  Or if you want to wait and test the template out in test mode site and not get Memberstack subscription at the moment, you could purchase the template at the usual price ($179) and then later on get a Memberstack subscription when you are ready to launch the site.

  So to answer your second question, the subscription is not to keep using the template (because you get the template at one-time price), but it is so that we launch our sites on the custom domain (without the Test mode badge etc.) and have the ability to allow more members on our site (in test mode the member limit is 50, once you get a subscription, you can scale your user-base to 1000 / 5000 / 10000+ members and get other features based on the plan you choose).

  Hope this gives you some idea.

  Thank you. I understand that I’ll probably need to subscribe to Memberstack and purchase the template. What I’m not clear about is when I’ll need to purchase the Webflow CMS plan, since it’s tied to a specific website. Could you please clarify this part for me?

  Is the following the correct process?
  I create a website in Webflow=>you will apply the template to this website=>I will need to buy a CMS plan.

  Or the website creation will happen when you deliver the template to me?

  Hey Hyun Young Lee,

  Welcome 😇

  I would suggest the process to be something like:

  • Get the template from Memberstack

  1. Assuming you got the memberstack subscription and purchased the template beforehand

  • Clone the template site in your webflow workspace

  1. This is optional, but having a clone of it would help you as a back-up if anything does not work / you want to refer the original styling etc. while you make all the changes on the original site

  • Get the Webflow CMS Plan on the original template site

  1. To install Memberstack on your site, you would need to have some custom code and Webflow allows this only on paid site plans as of now, it also allows custom domain, more than 2 static pages only on paid plans, so no harm in having this setup.

  • Then start out with customizing and building the site to suit for your project

  1. You can follow along the tutorials that you will get along with the template to know how things are setup step-by-step.

  This flow will ensure that you have the base template, on which you can build out your customization rather than having a site built and trying to transfer all the features one-by-one from the template to your site.

  Hope this gives you some idea.
