How to Set Up a Password Field During the Checkout Process

This document explains how to add a password field to a SureCart checkout form, allowing customers to create their customer dashboard password during checkout.

Requirements

• WordPress admin access
• SureCart installed and activated
• An existing checkout form

Customer Dashboard Access Overview

SureCart provides customers with a dashboard where they can access order history, subscriptions, and account details.

Customers can access this dashboard in two ways:

• Email link – Customers receive a login link by email after completing a purchase and can set a password from the dashboard.
• Checkout password field – Customers create their password directly during checkout using a password field.

This guide focuses on configuring the password field during checkout.

Add a Password Field to the Checkout Form

Follow the steps below to add a password field to a checkout form.

• Go to WordPress Dashboard → SureCart → Checkout.
• Open the Store Checkout form.

• Click the + button to add a new block.
• Navigate to the SureCart block section.

• Drag and drop the Password block into the checkout form where customers should enter their password.

Configure Password Field Settings

After adding the password block, configure its settings as needed.

• Select the Password block.
• Enable Required to require customers to create a password during checkout.

• Enable Password Confirmation to require customers to confirm their password.

• Click Update to save the changes.

Expected Outcome

After completing these steps, customers will be prompted to create a password during checkout. They can then use their email address and password to log in directly to their customer dashboard.

Notes and Limitations

• The password field applies only to checkout forms where it is added.
• Customers who do not create a password during checkout can still access the dashboard using the email login link.
• Existing customers are not affected by adding the password field.
