Simple Customer Registration + Data Capture


Potato

Question

Hey :)
 

Happy New Year to you all btw.

I'm leaning towards a very simple user registration approach for my site/Blesta setup e.g.

"Enter your email address to get started" (+ a standard confirmation email) - So they can register as simply as that - then upon their next login we ask them for further details e.g. "Please complete the following fields to complete your profile..."

Why? - Data capture, and getting people through the front door quicker so we can then market to them potential (via the Mass Mailer which is coming) and also increasing the likely hood of purchasing from us.

Is such a feature currently present to do this?

 

 

Or another way of looking at it is:

 

Putting a user through the purchasing  process, I want as little as info as possible presented to them, as to not distract them/or disade them from purchasing...
 

So if paying via PayPal - We could get the address etc from that right? (Appreciate CC etc will need billing info for fraud checks etc.) - and that's fine.

 

But if using PayPal, all we'd need is:

 

Name:

Email:

 

Total: $15.99

 

[pay now with paypal]

 

Then once purchased, any further details we need, they are then prompted to enter before they can get int their account e.g. /clients/

 

Thank you for registering, before you can access your account, please provide the following information:

Alternative email:

Telephone:

etc etc...

 

 

Just a thought anyway, before I go specing up the pages I wanted to see what would be possible or if this is something you think you could incorporate?

I do think having an e-mail address confirmation part is important, and currently lacking in Blesta.

 

First of all making sure you have the correct e-mail adress is important so that renewal invoices reach the customer.

But also because with some domain registries it is a contractual requirement that you verified at the very minimum the e-mail address, before you are allowed to register a domain on behalf of a customer.
