Double optin for new customers?

[andrea.castelli]

Good morning,

is it possible to enable a mechanism of double optin for the new customers through the admin interface or the configuration files?

If no, what  is the best  way to do that coding?

Thank you.

Double Optin isn't built in but easy enough to achieve. One way is to:

• Send a link (with generated key and email address) to your own servlet in the Welcome Mail


• Add key to a customer custom field when registering


• Customize LoginIntegrationMgr to not allow login while that custom field has something in it


• Your servlet can use the AdminEngine to remove the value from the custom field of the customer when the link is clicked as long as it matches the value already there. Alternatively you could use a custom API call of the App Engine to do the same thing.
