Exciting news for Framer website creators! A third-party tool, Framer Auth, now enables you to add authentication features to your site. This means you can create exclusive member-only areas, offering sign-up, sign-in, and password recovery functionalities. It's a fantastic way to build a premium, gated content experience for your audience.

Creating a Member-Only Experience

Imagine building a Patreon-like website where users must become supporters to access exclusive content. Using FramerAuth, 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 FramerAuth, 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 FramerAuth 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

• Testing User Flow: It's crucial to test the entire user journey from signing up, accessing content, managing accounts, to ensuring all locked content is appropriately gated.

• Customization and Personalization: Fine-tune your site's look and feel, ensuring it aligns with your brand while providing a smooth user experience.

Incorporating FramerAuth into your Framer site opens up a world of possibilities for creating exclusive, member-only content.
