Using Autologin With ClickBank
Overview
The ActiveMember360 Autologin module allows validated purchasers to autologin to the WordPress ActiveMember360 site using an autologin URL as the Thank You Page URL for ClickBank purchases.
Upon a successful login the user can be redirected to any desired location within the WordPress site.
When using autologin with ClickBank, for a validated URL, ActiveMember360 will create/update a contact in ActiveCampaign as required. This includes the creation and storing of a password in ActiveCampaign if one does not already exist.
ActiveMember360 will also create the user within WordPress if they do not already exist. The user will be created with a username matching that of their email address and the WordPress role as specified in WordPress, Settings, General, New User Default Role. The other WordPress user settings will be as detailed within Default WordPress User Settings.
