Using the Require sign in option you can make it compulsory for your users to sign in. This means that only visitors who have a user account are allowed to navigate on your Web site. New visitors can only access the Web site once you have created user profiles for them in the administration area.
Enter a relevant text in the Text if signing in is required field to inform non-registered visitors of the configuration and explain the steps required to register.
The Double opt-in process provides a secure registration for you and your customers. The customer receives an e-mail after registration. Only after the customer clicks on a special link will the registration process be completed. The customer has to confirm that he has performed the registration himself.
Once you start to use customer information for purposes not simply restricted to the ordering process, you must inform your customers of the reasons of your using their data and the customers must agree to this usage. You can enable the Activate privacy policy... option to require customers to agree to you saving their personal information. This step ensures that your customers have agreed to this usage before they register. If the option is active, an agreement is queried in the following places:
- during registration
- for unregistered customers, when they enter their address in the order process
- in the contact form
