Selling ebook want to include password to forum?

[doug78954]

I am selling an ebook and would like to have the customer receive a password to be used to enter a protected forum page on website. Can this be done? Do I have to manually contact customer and give them a password? Does anyone know of software that will help in protecting a webpage or entry page to forum? Some thing that would help me manage all the names and new password requests. Doug

You could use our Integration feature to send the order data to a custom script on your system -- so e.g. you could register the buyer's email and transaction ID as their initial username and password in your system:

You could customize your thank-you (download) page to place a link to your forum login or registration page, and use our thank-you page template variables to show the buyer the login/password they should use, like so:



Login: [%payer_email%]

Password: [%txn_id%]



Thank-you page customization is fully documented here:

As another alternative, you could simply use Integration to submit the buyer's email (and other data to use or ignore as you wish), to your own forum registration script that would automatically email them a validation link and/or randomly-generated password. You could also consider using our Send Generated Codes feature:
