What is MemberSpace?
MemberSpace adds membership gating to an existing website. Processing is typically a connected gateway. This edition has not verified a MemberSpace-owned merchant account, so MemberSpace is listed as software that sits on a processor.
Who should choose MemberSpace?
MemberSpace fits: Sites that want membership gating without rebuilding the site. A listing here is not an approval, and a published rate is not a quote.
Who should look elsewhere?
What MemberSpace replaces: The gating and member admin. Not the processor. Look elsewhere when you need something outside that.
Underwriting: The processor's.
How does MemberSpace charge?
MemberSpace has 0 public standard fee lines in this dataset on November 9, 2026. The headline on the profile is "The connected processor's rate" because no single list price was transcribed.
Use MemberSpace's pricing page for any number this dataset left blank. A blank is not zero.
What does MemberSpace cost at $10,000, $100,000, and $1 million a month?
The arithmetic below uses a $50 average ticket and successful charges only. It is not a quote for international cards or disputes.
MemberSpace does not have a public standard rate in this dataset, so there is no dollar total at $10,000.00, $100,000.00, or $1,000,000.00.
Stripe at those volumes, on 2.9% + $0.30 and a $50 ticket, is $10,000.00 → $350.00 (200 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $10,000.00); $100,000.00 → $3,500.00 (2000 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $100,000.00); $1,000,000.00 → $35,000.00 (20000 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $1,000,000.00).
Where does MemberSpace operate?
Coverage: Follows the processor. That is where MemberSpace operates, not a list of industries it accepts.
Do not treat a processor logo as an industry approval. If the business is on Stripe's prohibited list, switching the logo does not make the card payment lawful. The restricted-business guide is the map of Stripe's own words.
How does MemberSpace differ from Stripe?
Stripe is a payment service provider at 2.9% + $0.30 for US domestic cards, read November 9, 2026, and it can review an account after you have started processing. MemberSpace is a billing software with the rate line The connected processor's rate and the dispute line The processor's fee.
MemberSpace is software around a payment. It does not, on the record above, replace the merchant account by itself. You still pay whoever moves the card.
How do you switch from Stripe to MemberSpace?
Stripe's data export page, read November 10, 2026, says Stripe transfers saved cards only to a PCI DSS Level 1 processor and does not export subscriptions or payment history. The switching guide covers what moves, what needs Stripe's approval, and how to keep subscriptions billing. Read it before you cancel the Stripe account.
- Export Stripe customers, prices, and dispute history while the dashboard still allows it.
- Ask MemberSpace, in writing, whether it can receive a card transfer from Stripe. The switching guide names the providers whose own pages describe one.
- Recreate plans and the next billing date. Run five real customers in a test mode, including one annual plan and one past-due plan.
- Map webhooks and payout reconciliation before the cutover. Do not bill the same period on both systems.
- If Stripe has already closed the account, plan for customers to enter cards again.
What usually goes wrong?
The dispute fee is the small line. The disputed amount and the card-network ratio are the ones that close accounts.
The other failure is comparing a different product, such as a merchant-of-record percent or a gateway monthly fee, to Stripe's card rate as if they were the same line.

01What does MemberSpace publish as its card rate?
MemberSpace's rate line in this directory is The connected processor's rate, read on November 9, 2026. Use that line only for the product it describes.

03Is MemberSpace the merchant of record?
MemberSpace is a billing software, not a merchant of record in this directory. You remain the merchant unless a contract you sign says otherwise.
04Where does MemberSpace operate?
Follows the processor. That is the coverage note stored with the November 9, 2026 reading. It is not a list of merchant category codes MemberSpace has approved.
05Should you leave Stripe for MemberSpace?
Only when this is the fit: Sites that want membership gating without rebuilding the site. If the Stripe account is healthy and Stripe's other products are part of why you chose it, staying is often the smaller move. MemberSpace does not become a yes just because it is on this page.
06How much is MemberSpace at $10,000 a month?
MemberSpace has no public standard rate in the November 9, 2026 dataset, so this page does not invent a total at $10,000. Stripe on a $50 ticket is $350.00 at 2.9% + $0.30.
