Easy Digital Downloads Auto Register

Description

The Auto Register addon automatically creates a WordPress user account for each customer who completes a purchase in Easy Digital Downloads, eliminating the need for prior manual registration and sending access credentials by email. This automated flow shortens the path between payment and the first download, especially useful for stores that sell digital files restricted to the logged-in area and need to link each order to a registered user.

Who Is It For?

• Administrators who want to shorten the checkout and remove the buyer’s prior manual registration.

Recommended for store owners who sell digital products with access restricted to the logged-in area, the Auto Register addon eliminates the intermediate registration step and keeps post-sale relationships within WordPress. Linking each order to a registered profile also facilitates applying rules such as license control, user role restriction, and purchase history review in the customer’s account.
