Absolutely.

Our scenario is that we have 3 membership plans: Individual, Institutional (5 seats), Institutional Unlimited (we set to 500 seats)

Our client is a professional group for college administrators, and as such, the colleges typically purchase the memberships on behalf of the members. At some institutions, the payment cardholder is NOT a member of the organization and we do not want them to have an account on the site. Department secretaries are often the ones who have the credit cards.

We have figured out how to prompt the cardholder at checkout to enter the primary member’s email address and that will create the account under the primary member’s email, auto generate the username and password and then email the primary user with a password reset link to let them know they have an account and to login. However, the cardholder gets auto-logged in to the newly created account after successful payment and that account is not always

their

account. We would like them to instead get redirected to a page with further instructions.

We recognize renewals is going to be an issue with this setup because the primary account will already exist in a year when the payments need to be made again. If the cardholder goes to renew, they will find the account already exists. This could be a non-issue for us since we may be wiping the memberships every year anyway as a matter of course.

What we would ideally like is a way for a non-member to purchase seats – just pay and get an email with the discount code to forward to the primary contact so they can make their account and give the code to any other members to make their respective accounts, but that is not possible right now from what I can tell from the documentation and looking around on these forums. This other method described above is the closest we have devised to met the client’s requirements.

I don’t think it will be a problem for the sponsored members to have the same thing happen to them when they register because they will receive the email themselves and then they can login following the password reset link just like the primary member does. We just don’t want anyone to get auto-logged in after registration.

Thank you for anything you can think of to tackle this.
