How to build a personal account on Tilda: a full guide for beginners and advanced users

Tilda Membership is a built-in mechanism for managing users (members) of a Tilda website. Here is what it provides:

• User registration and login
• A member profile on the website
• Private pages available only to “registered” users
• Division into plans, roles and segments
• Setting up access logic for different groups of people

This functionality helps turn a Tilda website into a full personal account for clients, students, subscribers or community members.

1. Enable Members in the project:

• In the Tilda control panel go to “Site settings” → the Membership section.
• Turn on the “Enable Membership” option for your website.

2. Set up participant types (roles / plans):

• Create the necessary roles or plans: for example “free”, “premium”, “subscription”.
• These roles determine who gets access to which pages.

3. Add registration / login / profile blocks:

• Use the ME101 block — a registration form: name, email, password and other fields.
• The ME102 block is the standard login form (for those already registered).
• The ME104 block is the participant profile: it shows profile data and allows editing.

4. Set up private pages:

• Go to the page you want to close to unregistered users.
• In the page settings: “Access” → “Membership” → select the roles that will be granted access.
• This way you can set up different roles to see different areas of the website.

5. Edit profile fields:

• In the registration / profile blocks you can set additional fields (phone, date of birth, etc.).
• These fields will be shown in the user’s profile and saved in the Tilda user database.

6. Set up behavior after login / registration:

• You can choose where the user will be redirected after successful registration or login.
• You can also set up email notifications or welcome emails for registration.

• Segments are groups of users that can be combined, for example by “activity”, “subscription level” or “plan”.
• Plans / roles determine which pages are available to users: for example the “basic” plan gets only starter materials, “premium” gets all content.

When working with access separation it is useful to think through:

1. Which users do you expect?
2. Which parts of the website will be tied to plans?
3. How will you upgrade plans / move people between segments?

✅ Pros:

• No need to connect third-party authorization systems — everything is inside Tilda
• Easy to set up and manage
• The ability to segment and separate access
• Suitable for online schools, private clubs, subscription content

❗ Limitations:

• No complex “balance + transactions” logic: you cannot store accounts, orders or “bonus balances”
• Profile fields are limited to standard blocks
• No API access to profiles via Tilda Membership (limitations for dynamics)
• Not suitable for systems with “wallets”, “order history” or “balance movement”

If you need to store dynamic data (for example orders, bonuses, progress), you can use a hybrid:

• Use Tilda Membership for authorization and access.
• Connect Airtable / Google Sheets / Notion as a “backend” for storing data.
• With JavaScript + integrations (Zapier / Make), load data into Tilda’s private pages.

This option lets you:

• combine the simplicity of Tilda Membership with dynamic data
• show the user personal data in their profile
• update data through an external system rather than through Tilda’s “admin panel”.

1. Design roles and plans in advance — so you do not have to rebuild the access structure.
2. Minimize fields in the registration form — only the most necessary, to lower the barrier.
3. Set up a welcome email — send a welcome message after registration.
4. Periodically clean out “inactive” users — if there is a subscription but the person does not log in.
5. Test access — check that different roles see the right pages.
6. Think about an “external backend” if you need progress, balance, orders.

1. You set up roles: “Student”, “Premium student”, “Admin”.
2. You create private pages: lessons, materials, homework.
3. You add the ME101 form so students can register.
4. The student logs in → sees their profile in ME104 → the right plan opens → the list of lessons is shown.
5. Through Airtable you store lesson progress → with an integration you display the progress on the student’s page.
