Memberstack
Easily add memberships, gated content, and payments to Webflow sites
What is Memberstack?
Try MemberstackMemberstack Data Tables is a built-in relational database for Memberstack, designed to work alongside your existing Memberstack authentication. It gives no-backend database tables with permissions configured visually in plain English, so you can build apps with gated access and dynamic content. Works with Webflow and can also be used with React and Next.js (via the Memberstack DOM/API).
What is Memberstack Data Tables used for on a website?
Use Memberstack Data Tables to add a real relational database to your app, with authentication and row-level permissions handled through your existing Memberstack setup. It’s meant for building experiences like posts, authors, comments, and member-owned content while controlling who can read, create, update, or delete records.
Do I need to write backend code or SQL to set up data?
No. You create tables in the dashboard and set permissions in plain English, with no SQL policies to debug. The platform is designed so you don’t need to write a backend just to manage tables and access control.
Is Memberstack Data Tables no-code friendly for Webflow builders?
Yes. For Webflow designers, you connect to your Webflow site using the global $memberstackDom object, create tables in the dashboard, and configure permissions visually instead of writing policies.
How do permissions and authentication work with Data Tables?
Authentication is done through your existing Memberstack setup, and permissions are configured visually. Data Tables plugs into the same Memberstack auth, so the creating member can be tracked automatically and access control can be tied to roles like “anyone can read” or “record owner.”
Can I use it if I’m building with React or Next.js instead of Webflow?
Yes. You can access it through window.$memberstackDom in Webflow, or install @memberstack/dom and use it in JavaScript environments like React and Next.js, including client-side or server-side usage.
How does Memberstack handle relationships between records and pagination?
You can connect records across tables (for example, posts to authors, comments to posts, and members to favorites) to model relationships. It also supports filtering, sorting, and cursor-based pagination, including pagination that works with filters and relationship includes.
