Tip #1 – Switching from Wishlist’s Old Registration Form to the New One

We are starting a new tips’ series about Wishlist Member.

The series will be on a weekly basis (every and Thursday) and you will be able to easily access it by registering to our free membership.

In the first tip we will talk about the difference between Wishlist’ old registration form vs. the new one and how to switch to the new  registration form.

One problem with Wishlist Member’s registration form was that many members hadn’t noticed the “existing member, please click here” option and went straight to creating a new account.

This may sound strange to you that people miss this big red-boxed notification, but they did, which created many technical problems for membership sites owners such as:

Duplicate registrations for existing members who create another account

Incomplete registrations for new members who skip this stage or abandon the page.

In version 2.8 the Wishlist team has improved the registration form to a more user-friendly one.

The Old Registration Form

The New Registration Form

The new registration form displays the member with the 2 options very clearly so the chances of missing it is much lower.

The cool thing about the new registration form is that if the email filled-in in the payment gateway already exists in the system, the registration form will be displayed as seen in the screenshot below:

However, if the member fills-in a new email that is not in the system, the registration form will be displayed as seen in the screenshot below:

Switching from the Old Registration Form to the New One

Switching between the registration forms is pretty simple and easy.

First of all, make sure you are using Wishlist Member version 2.8 and above.

Then go to Wishlist Member settings > Miscellaneous > “Registration Form Layout” > Switch to “Improved”

Automating the Registration Process Completely

Though the new Wishlist registration form is with out a doubt better than the old one, members still need to go through long and time consuming process in order to be fully registered to the site.

They still need to fill-in 2 registration forms: one inside the payment gateway and one when they return to the site (unless you are using PayPal integration and then they need to login to their PayPal account).

In order to shorten the registration process and completely eliminate the need to fill-in Wishlist registration form you can use Wishlist Auto Registration plugin.

Wishlist Auto Registration is a 3rd-party plugin developed by our company’s Wishlist certified developers.

The plugin eliminates any incomplete and duplicate registrations by automatically registering your members to the site.
