Webflow: User Accounts sunset
Webflow’s native User Accounts was disabled in January 2026. A current membership brief needs an appropriate access or learning provider, with its responsibilities scoped explicitly.
Stripe: Checkout fulfilment
For a custom Stripe integration, use authoritative server-side confirmation rather than relying on a return page. Other providers need their own supported process.
