Using Autologin With ThriveCart
Overview
The ActiveMember360 Autologin module allows validated purchasers to autologin to the WordPress ActiveMember360 site using an autologin URL as the Success URL for ThriveCart purchases.
With the settings in place when someone completes a purchase they will then be taken to a customised success page where the links to all the products purchased will be listed. Clicking on any one link that uses a success URL for autologin will automatically log them into your site using ActiveMember360 Autologin.
Upon a successful login the user can be redirected to any desired location within the WordPress site.
When using autologin with ThriveCart, 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.
Usage
The URL used for autologin is constructed using your site URL and parameters.
A sample of the URL structure required is as follows:

Example ThriveCart Success URLs Using Autologin URL
In all examples my_security_code must be replaced by a security code defined in ActiveMember360, Settings, Security, Security Codes
We recommend that if within ThriveCart, Product, Behaviour rules you are adding ActiveCampaign tags that permit access to your WordPress site and specific content that you add the same tags when using ActiveMember360 Autologin for the same product. The reason being that ActiveMember360 Autologin is likely to complete processing before the ThriveCart product behaviour rules. Therefore not all data may be in place to allow access to the site and content unless also added by ActiveMember360 Autologin.
