Site Members: Offering Exclusive Content to Your Members
7 min read
As the Members Area is login protected, you can use it to share exclusive content with members only, and also allow your members to share their own content with other members. This is a great way to keep your customers loyal and make them feel part of a community.
Understanding Restricted Pages
In this article, learn more about:
Restricting pages to specific member roles
Allow certain members to have access to specific member pages. For example, you may run a yoga studio and want to create pages just for the students, and also pages just for the teachers.

- Click the Edit icon
next to Select from your Member Roles.
Note:
Only regular site pages that are restricted to site members appear in step 3 (see Understanding Restricted Pages above). You cannot assign a member page from the Members Area to a specific role.
Restricting pages to members with Pricing Plans
Restrict specific pages to members who have purchased specific pricing plans.
For example, you may be a language teacher offering online courses for different languages. You can add your language courses to your site and restrict the courses to those members who have purchased the relevant pricing plan.
For example, you may be a language teacher offering online courses for different languages. You can add your language courses to your site and restrict the courses to those members who have purchased the relevant pricing plan.
This means that the German course material would be restricted to those members who purchased the German course pricing plan, and the Spanish course material would be restricted to those members who purchased the Spanish course pricing plan.

Using Badges to reward your members and make them stand out? Create exclusive pages for them. For example, if you have a blog with premium content you can set permissions so it's only accessible by members with a 'Blog VIP' badge.
Before you begin:
Make sure you've enabled badge permissions in your site's dashboard for the relevant badge. If permissions aren't enabled, the badge won't show up in the 'Select from badges' list.

Allowing customers to access their private information
The Member's Area interacts with many different Wix business solutions, like Wix Stores or Wix Bookings. By signing up to your site, members get access to pages with all their previous info so they're encouraged to keep engaging.
If you're using Wix Stores, for example, a My Orders page is automatically added to your Member's Area so customers can keep track of their previous purchases. Another example is the My Wallet page where members can view and update their credit cards.
