eMember – Multiple membership for non-logged-in user

[happyatom]

Hi – I would like to use a different membership level for each product that I sell. When an existing customer buys a new product I want the new product to be added to their account – I have found this:

“If you have integrated the payment buttons with eMember already then when a logged-in member makes a purchase using that button the membership level will be automatically added to their profile.”

BUT – what happens if they are not logged in? Could they use the same email address to register or would emember spot that they are using an existing email and tell them to login?

thanks

The plugin will try to find an account with that email address and attach the new level there but the safest is to force your users to log into the site (that way it is 100% guaranteed to work).

There are a few different approaches you can take to customize the checkout flow on your site. You can enable an option in eStore that will enforce that a visitor is logged into the site before they can checkout (this is a global setting). Kind of like what amazon does.

Alternatively, you can put some of your products inside emember’s section protection shortcode. That way, users are forced to log in before they can view the buy button and purchase those items. Section/partial protection documentation here:
