Disable Customer Accounts and Customer Dashboard

Hello Marc,

I hope you’re well. I understand your concern about not wanting each customer to have a WordPress account or access to a dashboard. While it’s not possible to entirely disable the creation of a WordPress account for each customer, you can redirect them to a different page after a purchase to avoid accessing the customer dashboard. You can find instructions on how to set up a custom thank-you page here: https://surecart.com/docs/custom-thank-you-page/.

Additionally, you can disable SureCart email notifications that lead customers to the SureCart dashboard by following the guidance in this article: https://surecart.com/docs/customer-email-notifications/.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Hi Ivan, thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I’ve played a bit around with testing and translating the Customer Dasboard; at the end of the day I have to say that it might a nice addition.

The main concern is: how safe is it? For example, if customers create easy to guess paswords like 12345: is there a chance the site gets hacked through such a vulnerable account?

Hey Marc.

You are most welcome!

When a user creates a password with fewer than 6 characters, they will receive an error message stating, “The password must be at least 6 characters in length.” Additionally, it is mandatory for passwords to contain at least one special character, as indicated by the message: “Passwords must contain a special character.” Any user who purchases a product from your website will receive a SureCart customer role. This role provides an added layer of security, reducing the likelihood of your website being hacked. While we enforce certain password security measures, it ultimately remains the user’s responsibility to secure their accounts with stronger passwords.

Best regards,

Allright, thanks for the explanation; indeed, the strong passwords might be a good way to make things more secure.

However, it still would be nice to have an option to disable/turn off customer dashboards completely. Hopefully such an option will be added in the future.

Can you tell me if that’s on your list (feature requests)?
