Hi All,
As everyone is aware, the highly anticipated Paid Plans app is out. I have been adding this app to many sites over the last few weeks. The number one complaint I am getting, besides the weird procedure a user must perform to sign up, is the app dumps the “New Users” on the home page. I would like to find away to to the payment confirmation to redirect the user to their new account (My Account). Dumping the user on the home page leaves the them confused and frustrated, Even when I put a shiny button, that is only visible when they are logged in, on the home page. I have tried a few things but there is nothing to work with on this app. Any ideas? Wix are there any plans to allow this in the future?
Here is a possible solution. I have code on my homepage that checks if the user is logged in and then it automatically pops up a lightbox with the loginbox and a button that they click that takes them to their dashboard. It seems to work pretty well. I have created a custom registration page that submits the user data to the CRM, as well as a database. After the submit the data, it automatically logs them in, as I make the paid plan page the landing page after they submit their data. Also, if they leave the site and come back without logging out, it will take them back to this page. Just a thought to help with this problem until they allow us to select the landing page after the purchase is done. Here is the code on the homepage that should help you.
import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’;
import wixData from ‘wix-data’;
import wixLocation from ‘wix-location’;
import wixWindow from ‘wix-window’;
$w.onReady( function () {
if (wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
wixWindow.openLightbox(“Login”);
}
})
I have been dealing with this issue for a long time myself. I will try this code and see how it works.
However, some users simply close their browsers and not visit the website for a long time. The website I worked on has a “members profile” page which ends up being populated with blank profiles due to this negligent behavior which happens frequently.
To WIX!!!
The simple solution is allowing us edit the Paid Plan pages so we can change the stupid" “Got it” button that shows up at the end and forces users to go back to the home page. If we could change the link on this button to “Fill Out Your Profile” and direct the user to the form page the whole issue would be solved!
Very simple. Extremely frustrating. Leaving us designers in a difficult situation with clients as well.
