How Memberstack enhanced their auth experience with custom domains
A conversation with Tyler Bell, Co-founder of Memberstack
About Memberstack
Founded by childhood friends Tyler Bell and Duncan Hamra, Memberstack is an authentication and payments platform that makes it easy for no-code builders to add user accounts and payment functionality to their websites.
The platform primarily serves Webflow users but works with any website that can add a header script. With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Memberstack has processed over $130 million in payments and serves thousands of customers who want to monetize their web presence without complex coding.
The Challenge
Our single sign-on auth screen was hosted on memberstack.com. We wanted customers to be able to handle authentication directly on their own domains to provide a more seamless experience.
- •Single sign-on pages were hosted on memberstack.com domain
- •Existing solutions like Cloudflare were prohibitively expensive
- •AWS implementation seemed too complex to maintain
- •Needed a solution that wouldn't distract from core product development
The Solution
SaaS Custom Domains provided Memberstack with a streamlined solution that aligned perfectly with their needs:
- •Simple API that made integration straightforward
- •Easy-to-implement management UI for their dashboard
- •Cost-effective pricing that scales with growth
- •Zero maintenance overhead for custom domain infrastructure
Key Results
Scalable Growth
Successfully scaled to support thousands of custom domains without infrastructure headaches
Enhanced UX
Provided seamless white-labeled authentication experience for customers
Development Focus
Engineering team stayed focused on core product features instead of domain infrastructure
Cost Efficiency
Significantly more affordable than alternatives like Cloudflare or building in-house
Final Thoughts
When I found it, I was like, this is just too good to be true. How can something make custom domains this easy? Tried it, had a prototype, worked beautifully, and we've been using it ever since.
