Setting up the cart and login page
Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a simple paid community but am struggling to understand the signup ->login flow.
I have FluentCart installed with the necessary pages. A user joins (paying cash) and gets redirected to a receipt. The Cart integration with Community adds them as a User (Subscriber role).
But when do they setup a password? Or should I skip the receipt page and send them to the login? What happens there if they don't have a password?
I'm very new to the Fluent ecosystem, so I've read the docs and watched a dozen YT videos. I'm a little sour on YT videos - most of them are "Click all the defaults, see how easy, use my affiliate code." I watched one that added Fluent CRM, Fluent Auth, and Fluent Forms, and probably another too. But I don't know why I'd need all that for such a common use case. I've used Circle before, but they handle all these details (for 10X the price), lol.
So please share any good resources or tips on setting this up!
Hey Charles Metzger, so the flow is => Purchase Completed -> [Create WP Account if not exist -> Send Default WP Welcome Email with password reset link -> Make the user logged in] -> Thank you page
So the user will automatically be logged in once they checkout.
Taylor Drayson Thank you! Is it possible to redirect them to the password reset page instead of the thank you page? I'm worried that if they go to email, they'll be distracted and won't login.
Charles Metzger they don’t need to go to their email, they are automatically logged in.
Taylor Drayson Hi Taylor, quick question — where exactly can I enable the “Make the user logged in” step in the flow?
