How to Redirect Users After Sign-Up in Webflow Using Memberstack

Are you building a membership-based website using Webflow and Memberstack? Do you want to ensure that when a user signs up, they are redirected back to the same page they signed up on? In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to achieve this using a simple line of JavaScript. By following these steps, you can ensure a seamless user experience on your membership-based site.

What You'll Learn

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use a JavaScript code snippet to redirect users back to the page they signed up on after completing the sign-up process. This is particularly useful when you have multiple sign-up forms on different pages and want the user to be redirected back to the specific page they initiated the sign-up from.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you should have basic knowledge of Webflow and Memberstack. You should also have access to the Memberstack script and be familiar with adding custom code to your Webflow projects.

Setting Up Memberstack

1. Before implementing the redirect functionality, ensure that you have set up Memberstack on your Webflow project. This involves adding the Memberstack script to your project. If you haven't done this yet, you can find the steps to do so in the Memberstack documentation.

2. Once Memberstack is set up, you'll be able to create signup forms and specify a success page for users to be redirected to after signing up.

Implementing the Redirect Functionality

Now, let's walk through the process of implementing the redirect functionality using a simple line of JavaScript code.

Step 1: Setting Up Local Storage

First, you'll need to create a JavaScript code snippet that stores the URL of the page the user is on when they initiate the sign-up process. This will allow you to redirect them back to the same page after the sign-up is completed.

Inside the custom code section of your Webflow project, add the following script just before the closing body tag:

<script>  // Storing the current page URL in local storage  localStorage.setItem('locate', window.location.href);</script>

This code uses the localStorage API to store the current page's URL with the key locate.

Step 2: Specifying a Success Page

In the Memberstack dashboard, specify a success page for users to be redirected to after they successfully sign up. This is the page users would typically be redirected to upon completing the sign-up process.

Step 3: Adding the Redirect Script to the Success Page

On the success page in your Webflow project, add the following script within the body tag:

<script>  // Redirecting back to the page the user signed up from  window.location = localStorage.getItem('locate');</script>

This script retrieves the stored URL from localStorage and redirects the user back to that page. You can also place this script in the head tag if you prefer, which may result in a quicker redirect.

Testing the Redirect Functionality

Once you’ve added the necessary code to your Webflow project, it’s important to test the redirect functionality to ensure it works as expected. Here's how you can do that:

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to a page with a signup form.
2. Fill out the signup form and submit it.
3. After submission, you should be redirected back to the same page where you initiated the signup process.

By following these steps, you can ensure that users are seamlessly redirected back to the specific page they signed up on, providing a smooth and intuitive user experience.

Summary

In this tutorial, you learned how to use a simple line of JavaScript to redirect users back to the page they signed up on when using Memberstack in a Webflow project. This redirect functionality is particularly useful for membership-based sites with multiple signup forms on different pages. By following these steps, you can enhance the user experience and ensure a seamless flow for users signing up to access your membership content.

With these instructions, you should now be able to seamlessly incorporate the redirect functionality into your Webflow projects using Memberstack. Happy coding!
