Site Store Pro gives you a layered access control system that covers who can log in, what they can see after logging in, and how paying customers — including guests — gain entry to protected content. This page explains each layer, from user role assignments through to UUID-based magic links for member portals.

User Role Levels

Every Site Store Pro account is assigned one of four role levels. Roles determine which parts of the admin panel and customer-facing portal a user can access.
Assign the Staff / Support Agent role to team members who handle customer service. They gain helpdesk and order access without the full system privileges of an Admin.

Registration & Verification

Site Store Pro supports two registration pathways. Each pathway handles identity verification differently.
Customers who register via Google, Facebook, or GitHub are automatically verified at the moment they log in. The OAuth provider authenticates their identity, and Site Store Pro grants full account access immediately upon account creation — no additional verification step required.Result: the customer gains full account access straight away — dashboard, order history, and the ticket portal.

Guest Checkout & Account Conversion

Customers can complete a purchase without creating a password. Guests receive their order confirmation email and instant download links immediately after checkout, but they cannot log in directly — their account has no password set until they complete the conversion process. To convert a guest account into a full password account, the customer follows a two-step process:
1

Verify email

The customer clicks the signed verification link included in their order confirmation email. This confirms ownership of the email address.
2

Set a password

The signed link routes the customer to /account/set-password. They enter a new password, which converts the guest record into a fully authenticated account with complete login access.
After conversion, the customer’s order history, download links, and ticket submissions are all retained and immediately accessible under their new account.

CMS Page Access Gating

You can restrict access to any CMS page using one or both of the built-in gate types. Gates are configured per page in the admin panel.

Product Gate

Require a verified, paid purchase of a specific product before granting access to the page. Ideal for members-only content, course material, or digital downloads tied to a specific purchase.

Code Gate

Protect a page with a secret access code. Visitors see a lock screen and must enter the correct code to proceed. Useful for beta access, partner portals, or event-specific content.

Dual-Gate Behaviour

When you enable both a Product Gate and a Code Gate on the same page, Site Store Pro grants access if the visitor satisfies either condition — a verified purchase or a valid access code. You do not need to satisfy both.

Post-Order Completion Redirects

After a customer completes an order, you can redirect them to a specific destination. Configure the destination in Admin → Products → Edit → Advanced Settings. The redirect field accepts three formats:

Order Success and Order Confirmation Button Redirect Target

Each product’s completion redirect also supports a custom Button Label. The label text appears as the call-to-action button inside order confirmation, shipment, and download reminder emails, replacing the generic default button text.
When a customer orders a product that has a completion redirect configured, Site Store Pro automatically generates a secure, UUID-based magic link tied to that order. Magic link URL format:
1

Link generated

Site Store Pro generates a secure magic link when the order is placed for a product with a completion redirect configured.
2

Link delivered

The UUID link is embedded in the order confirmation email as a call-to-action button and is included in any resent order emails.
3

Visitor redeems the link

When the visitor opens /content-access/{uuid}, Site Store Pro validates the link, records the verified purchase in the visitor’s session, and redirects them to the protected content page.

Key Properties

Use magic links as the primary access mechanism for a post-purchase member portal. Because the link bypasses the Product Gate without requiring a login, guests and registered customers alike reach your content in a single click directly from their order email.
Magic links grant content access to anyone who holds the URL. Advise customers not to forward their order confirmation email to others if the linked content is intended to be personal or single-user.
