Require email confirmation before payment?

#1

We’re experiencing some card testing fraud and believe one solution would be to require email confirmation before allowing someone to check out/pay. Does s2Member support this, or is there a workflow that does? We are using Paypal Payments Pro forms.

You can use construction like this:

[s2If is_user_logged_in()][_s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_ccap_freeeyes_manual)][s2Member-PayPal-…][/_s2If][_s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_freeeyes_manual)]<a class=“fe-login-button” href="/freeeyes-access/">Read docs</a>[/_s2If][/s2If][s2If !is_user_logged_in()][s2Member-PayPal-…][/s2If]

This is for access by ccap, but you can adapt it.

I don’t know what ccap is, or freeeyes.

Is there some documentation or more info on this?

an alternative way of doing this is to:

  1. have the join form require a email address
  2. the join form sends an email to the provided email address with a link to the join page containing an encrypted version of the email.
  3. the real join form only appears if the variable in the join link is valid.

This is fairly easy to do and has the added benefit of being very very very difficult to create a fake join link, and as the variable link is an encrypted version of the email there is no need to make a record of emails sent.
