Can I offer a monthly subscription service using Webflow Ecommerce?

Webflow Ecommerce does not currently support native monthly subscription payments. You’ll need to integrate third-party tools to handle recurring billing.

1. Webflow Ecommerce Limitations

• No built-in subscription support as of 2024.
• Webflow's Ecommerce system is designed for one-time purchases only.
• You cannot set up automated recurring charges using Webflow’s default checkout.

2. Use Third-Party Subscription Tools

To offer monthly subscriptions, integrate one of the following services:

• Memberstack: Offers recurring billing, user access control, and integrates well with Webflow.
• Outseta: Combines subscription billing, authentication, and CRM in one platform.
• Paddle or Lemon Squeezy: Other full-featured billing tools suitable for SaaS and digital products.
• Stripe Checkout or Stripe Customer Portal: You can link buttons or forms from Webflow to a Stripe-hosted checkout page with subscriptions.

3. How to Integrate

• Build the front-end (e.g., pricing table, sign up buttons) using Webflow Designer.
• Connect buttons to third-party checkout URLs (e.g., Stripe Checkout).
• Embed user dashboards or login forms using their provided embed codes.
• For Memberstack or Outseta, include their script in your project’s Custom Code section.

4. Consider User Authentication

If access needs to be gated:

• Use Memberstack or Outseta to manage user logins and permissions.
• Protect pages by setting them to require login using those platforms.

Summary

While Webflow's built-in Ecommerce does not support monthly subscriptions, you can still offer them by integrating a third-party subscription tool like Memberstack, Outseta, or Stripe. Use Webflow for the design and these services for secure recurring billing and user management.
