How do I integrate my external members area with Hotmart?

If you choose to host your online course content outside of Hotmart Club, you can set up an integration so your students automatically receive access after their purchase is approved. 

This article explains step by step how to configure your external platform within the Hotmart ecosystem.

How do I set up the integration?

The setup process is simple and centralized within your product settings:

1. Log in to your Hotmart account at app.hotmart.com. 
2. In the left-hand menu, click Products and then select My Products.
3. Click + Create Product and choose the desired format.
4. In the Members Area section, select Use external members area.
5. In the Members Area Link field, enter the URL of the external platform.
6. Then, enter the credentials (access login and password).
7. Click Next and complete the product setup.

These credentials will be used by Hotmart for validation testing before the product is approved.

How do I switch to an external members area after creating the product?

If you want to change your product’s members area after it has been created, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Hotmart account at app.hotmart.com. 
2. In the left-hand menu, click Products and then select My Products.
3. Within the selected product dashboard, locate and click Members Area.
4. On the hosting options screen, click the three-dot menu and select Switch to an External Members area.
5. In the Members area link field, enter the URL of the external platform.
6. Then, enter the credentials (access login and password).
7. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

How can I make sure my students receive access automatically?

Adding the external URL in the dashboard tells Hotmart where to direct the student, but the automatic creation of their account in your environment depends on a Webhook integration. 

Through Webhook, Hotmart notifies your external platform (such as MemberKit, Mighty Networks, or custom-built systems) when a payment has been approved, allowing your system to send access credentials to the buyer’s email address.
