End-User Registration & Login Options

Introduction

The end-user "Registration & Login" feature in the CMS, allows you to manage how your end-users can access your store/content. You can allow users to access your website/app and/or content without registering or logging in to your website. (By default, registration and login is required to access your website) You can also restrict users to access free content by logging in to your website. However, access to free content does not require login by default. You can also enable the "2 Step Registration" process for your store (By default 1 Step Registration is enabled). By enabling the OPT feature, you can easily verify the end-users email address. You can enable the phone number as an optional or mandatory field on the registration page. Also, you can enable/disable the phone number login option for the end-users.

How End-users Register

End-users can register to your store front-end (website and/or app) by clicking on the "Register" button. They can also register on the login pop-up screen when they click on the play button of content (video and/or audio). The registered end-users can only view the free content added in the store or they can watch the content those are not monetized. To watch the monetized content, they have to purchase the content (i.e. via subscription, PPV, PPV Bundle, Pre-order, etc.).

Registering from the Store Front-end:

End-users need to click on the "Register" button.
They need to type their "Full Name", "Email Address", "Password" and "Confirm Password" in the corresponding fields.
Then, need to select "By clicking on Register, I agree to terms".
Click on "Register" to complete the registration process. They will get a confirmation for successful registration.
