There needs to be a way to import existing members as Site Members either from a CSV or from the Contacts List. Or to tag members of the Contacts List as Site Members.

What you can do is use data hooks to insert the data into the members collection.
Hi, has anyone found the solution for this, I have the same problem and cannot find the solution.
Absolute hack but I did this. Convert your CSV to code, e.g.
wixUsers.register('somename@foo.com', 'temppassword', {'contactInfo': {'firstName': 'Some','lastName': 'Name' } });
You can do this in a spreadsheet. Once you have it, copy/paste into a new hidden page with a button that will run this code to register all of your new members.
Hi Tarek, thanks for your reply, but I am pretty new still at Wix and coding so not sure if you are able to elaborate on how to do this? I have a member database in CSV format which contains thousands of members on my client’s old site with their name, surname, email. (members dont register automatically, they are approved manually by the company via a paper form and payment). So now I am assuming I need to import this into a Wix database collection and somehow from there turn them all into new site members…?
I have found a way to Add a new site member by creating a custom page on the dashboard for this, but cannot enter thousands of members one by one into the new Wix site, this will take forever

Hi @aleshaotto , i have the exact same task.
I need to import hundrets of “wildapricot”-members into a new wix-studio page AND have them on the websites members-area and inside the app.
But it seems, that this does not work!?
Are there any updates since 2020?
To be honest: if this won’t work i could sell my clients WIX as their solution and need to stay at Wildapricot or go for a Wordpress-setup and an extra Smartphone-Application.
