eStore eMember integration – avoiding double entry of customer information

[on_edge]

Right now, I have eStore installed using Authorize.net gateway. In order to capture customer info, I have a basic form setup, which redirects to a payment page on submit. Then the customer adds a product (membership) to the cart and goes to checkout. Authorize SIM takes the customer to the Authorize server and requires re-entry of customer contact info, etc. I’d like to make only one place for entering the info so there is no duplication (trying to keep it simple). Using Authorize AIM would allow me to handle checkout on our server, but would it allow capturing custom data (no custom fields in eStore)? I also have eMember to configure as a next step. If I simply continue with eMember, using eStore as the cart, can I avoid double entry of customer info?

Hi, It looks like (from your explanation) you want to auto populate the payment page with the user/member details when they are checking out.

I think you can use the registration scenario number#3.1 for this:

Once a user has an account on your site via eMember (this will be a free signup) and is logged into the site then when they go to checkout, the user’s details are automatically filled in (the data is taken from the user’s existing membership profile).

So this is how it will work:

1) You make every user signup on your site first (if they don’t have an account already). You can all the details you want from them via the eMember registration form. This registration for a basic user account is free.

2) Now, this person can log into the site and be recognized as a user. When this user is logged into the site and goes to checkout (using eStore), the order processing form will automatically be populated with all the details from this user’s profile.
