To add a dynamic custom attribute to a checkout button in a collection template page using Webflow and Memberstack, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up Memberstack: Before proceeding, you need to ensure that you have set up Memberstack properly on your Webflow website. This includes installing the Memberstack code on your pages and linking the Memberstack form to your checkout button.

  2. Create a collection template page: In your Webflow project, go to the Collection Templates section and create a new template for the collection you want to work with. This template will determine how individual collection items are displayed on their respective pages.

  3. Add a checkout button to the template: On the collection template page, add a button element where you want the checkout button to appear. You can style and position this button as desired.

  4. Add a custom attribute to the button: Select the button element, and in the Settings panel on the right-hand side, scroll down to the Attributes section. Click the '+' button to add a new attribute. Name the attribute based on your requirements (e.g., data-memberstack-plan). This custom attribute will hold the dynamic value you want to pass to Memberstack.

  5. Bind the custom attribute to a dynamic field: With the button element still selected, go to the Style tab in the Settings panel, and click the '+' button next to the Attribute selector. In the popup, choose the dynamic field from your collection that you want to bind to the custom attribute. For example, if you have a field called 'Membership Plan' in your collection, select that field.

  6. Set up Memberstack redirect: After adding the custom attribute, you need to set up a redirect with Memberstack to ensure that the correct checkout process is triggered based on the value of the custom attribute. In the Memberstack editor, go to the 'Forms' section and select your checkout form. In the 'Redirect' settings, specify the URL(s) that correspond to each possible value of the custom attribute.

Now, when a user visits a collection item page generated using the collection template, the checkout button will have a dynamic custom attribute based on the value of the corresponding field in the collection item. Clicking the button will redirect the user to the appropriate checkout process in Memberstack, depending on the custom attribute value.
