I have built many websites using **RapidWeaver** (older versions and now _RapidWeaver Classic_). For a more complex project, I asked a friend who works with **WordPress** to create the website **[taiji-online.com](http://taiji-online.com)**. The most challenging part was setting up a subscription system where members automatically gain access to **one new video each week** , while still keeping access to all previous weeks’ videos. For example, in week 4, subscribers should still be able to watch the videos from weeks 1, 2, and 3. He did create the site, but I’m not satisfied with the result. There are **layout issues** , but the main problem is the **membership management** system. Payments are handled through **Stripe** , and the videos are hosted on **YouTube** (I would have preferred using Vimeo). So now I’m wondering whether it would be possible for me to rebuild the site myself using **RapidWeaver Classic** or **RapidWeaver Elements** , and which **stack** (or combination of stacks) I should use to handle subscriptions and membership management properly. ---

[Sitelok](https://www.vibralogix.com/sitelokpw/) is generally the third-party solution people recommend to build out a member system with member-management. It works in both Classic and Elements. If you’re wanting to rebuild the site, I’d recommend going with [Elements](https://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/), it’s the future of RapidWeaver. 🙂 I can’t speak for how Sitelok works as I’ve never used it. Lots of people here have though so they could jump in on how it works. I don’t know if it handles subscriptions. ---

Sitelok is not compatible with STRIPE, I contacted them and it’s previous for the future, probably February 2026 ---

Was listening to maccast podcast- he runs a Mac show every year and video tapes the lectures He sells access to it. He uses Vimeo and then some password protected page… He talked a little bit on a podcast… Perhaps email him and ask? ---

Sitelok is definitely compatible with Stripe. Sitelok has a dedicated plugin for Stripe. I have used it for the last four years and it works well. It is also free. The support from Sitelok is also first class. [Plugins](https://www.vibralogix.com/sitelokpw/plugins.php) ---

Sorry, it’s a mistake, it was not SITELOK but WEBSHOP.STACK who doesn’t work with STRIPE. I will try with SITELOK. Thank you very much, have a good day.
