Creating a Member-Only Experience
Imagine building a Patreon-like website where users must become supporters to access exclusive content. Using Framer Auth, you can set up a seamless process where users sign up for a free trial, receive a license key, and upon purchase, activate their account. This process not only ensures secure access but also enhances user engagement with your content.
Setting Up FramerAuth
Initial Setup: After receiving an email invitation from Framer Auth, you start by naming your website and linking it to your Framer project.
Integration with Lemon Squeezy: To monetize your content, integrate with Lemon Squeezy, enabling you to set up payment options and manage subscriptions.
API Key Configuration: Ensure you're in the correct mode (test or live) when adding your Lemon Squeezy API key for a successful connection.
Product and Subscription Setup
Creating Products: In Lemon Squeezy, set up products with variants like annual or monthly subscriptions, including free trials and license keys.
Publishing Products: Once your product variants are set up, publish them and sync with Framer Auth for seamless user experience.
Implementing Framer Components
Adding Components: Utilize components like the sign-up form, sign-in form, and password reset form. Customize these components to match your site's design and functional requirements.
Using Overrides: Apply overrides for additional functionality like auto-filling license keys or conditional display based on user status (logged in/out).
Locking and Managing Content
Locking Pages: Easily lock pages in Framer to restrict access to members only. You can customize access based on different subscription plans.
User Account Management: Add features like managing subscriptions, displaying user names, and email addresses for a personalized touch.
Finalizing and Testing
