How to customize register flow

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is seeking to customize the customer registration workflow with specific requirements:

Desired customizations:

  • Display an information message immediately after account creation
  • Send an email confirmation request to new users
  • Redirect users to the dashboard after email verification
  • Trigger a welcome message once email is confirmed

Current issue:
The system automatically logs users in upon account creation, bypassing email verification. The user wants to prevent login access until the email address has been confirmed.

Status:
Another participant offered general guidance pointing to the required steps, but no concrete solution has been provided yet for blocking auto-login pending email confirmation. The discussion remains open with the core technical implementation question unanswered.

  1. I need to request user to confirm the email address - so we need to show this info message after creation of the account AND send the “confirm your email” letter

  2. after the email is confirmed we need to redirect user to the dashboard

  3. after the email is confirmed we need to send a standard Welcome message

Hi,

Hope this will help

  • Show Info Message After Account Creation
  • Send “Confirm Your Email” Letter
  • Once Email is Confirmed, Redirect to Dashboard
  • Send a Standard Welcome Message

Is there a way to wait for the user to confirm via email before allowing login? Currently, when an account is created, it logs in automatically
