Bypassing purchase on registration


When forcing a purchase on registration, after the initial login, the member is redirected to the checkout but the member can abandon the purchase process and browse the site as a regular member. Technically speaking we are not forcing a package purchase here.

Hard to say whether this is unintended user behaviour or a bug. It would appear to me that we would need to check the purchase status on every page load which may not be practical.

For the customer that raised the issue I recommended they restrict the permissions of the default member group and have the package purchase promote their members to an unrestricted group.

Status: Not a Bug
Version: 1.4.2

Hmm - will have a look but yeah, probably not practical, I would recommend the same.
Just make use of the "Member group to use after registration but before package purchase?" setting - set it to "Validating" (which is the default) or something.
