Add a members area so visitors can create an account on your site. After they sign up, they can log in to access exclusive pages and services. The members area works with your business apps (such as Wix Stores and Wix Bookings) and your social apps (such as Wix Groups and Wix Blog).
Step 1 | Add the members area app
To get started add the members area app. This automatically installs some basic elements like the login bar, which you can then customize in the next steps.
Using other Wix Apps?
When you add certain Wix apps (such as Wix Online Programs), a members area is added automatically. If that is your case, you can skip to Step 2.

- Click Add to Site.
Step 2 | Set up the account settings page
After the app finishes installing in the editor, the Account Settings page is added to your site. This is usually the first place members go to manage their details. They can view and update their personal information, change account settings, and move to other parts of the members area using the inner tabs. Choose a layout that suits your site and decide which inner tabs and elements to display.
Tip:
Some Wix apps automatically add pages to your members area. For example, Wix Stores can add a My Orders page, and Wix Bookings can add a My Bookings page so members can track their purchases and appointments.
