Building a Custom Integration

There are a couple of approaches for building member access into your website.

If you have a WordPress page, we recommend using our WordPress Plugin. It allows you to easily gate content to only your members.

The Patreon Plugin

Follow the instructions on the app page to get started

If you want something a bit more custom, you will want to use our OAuth system. Here’s how:

  1. Register a Client under the intended creator's account

  2. Follow our instructions to implement OAuth

  3. Allow access to content or features once a member has successfully completed OAuth

  4. Optionally, request more information about the member from the API using their access-token
