What is Memberful? ✨
Connect your Memberful account with the most popular community platforms like Discord and Discourse - to sell private access while we keep everything running smoothly.
What Memberful can be used for? ✨
Key benefits of using Memberful include:
- its ease of integration with popular website platforms like WordPress or community platforms like Discord and Discourse,
- its ability to handle recurring subscriptions, one-time payments, and free trials with ease,
- its comprehensive dashboard that allows for detailed member management and analytics.
For community builders, Memberful can be incredibly useful as it streamlines the process of creating a paid membership layer for their content or services, offering a branded checkout experience, and enabling them to engage with their members through gated content, newsletters, and community forums.
This helps solve problems related to monetizing content, managing subscribers, and ensuring a steady revenue stream while providing value to a dedicated audience.

What are the limitations? ✨
There are some rules and limits you should know about:
- The pricing structure, which includes both a monthly fee and a percentage of sales, can be a financial constraint, especially for communities that are still growing or have a limited budget.
- The lack of integrations with certain platforms and services can hinder the ability to streamline operations or leverage specific tools that a community manager might find essential for their workflow.
- Memberful is made to work with some websites really well, like WordPress. But if you use a different kind of website, it might not work as easily.
- Memberful uses a service called Stripe to handle money. Your group needs to be in a place where Stripe works, and what you sell has to be okay with Stripe's rules.
- Community managers may struggle with limited design and customization options when setting up paywalls or member areas, potentially leading to a less cohesive brand experience.
- You own the information about your members, but Memberful holds it, so you have to go through them to get it or use it.
- You can send some emails to your members through Memberful, but for lots of emails or very fancy ones, you need to use another email service.
