Velo: Enabling Custom Site Registration

Velo allows you to create a custom site registration form using code.  After creating a custom site registration form, you must enable custom site registration so your visitors will be directed to your custom form.

To enable custom site registration using Velo forms:

1. Add a popup to your site.
2. Create a custom registration form in the popup using Velo.

   Notes:

   • The above tutorial uses the frontend register() function. To enable custom site registration using Velo forms, use the backend register() function.
   • Check your member signup settings when creating the form, specifically whether a new member may join and log in immediately, or they need to wait for a manual approval.
3. Enable Velo Form signup settings:
   1. Click Pages on the left side of the Editor.
   2. Click Signup & Login.
   3. Click Member Signup Form (Wix Editor), or Signup (Wix Studio).
   4. Click the drop-down menu and select Velo Form. Note that for this option to be available, you need to enable Dev Mode (Wix Editor), or click and then Start Coding (Wix Studio).
   5. Choose the popup from the What does it link to? drop-down menu.
   6. Select Advanced Settings and enable Only allow backend calls for Signup and Login APIs. To enable this setting, note that you must complete steps 4 and 5 for the Member Login Form (located under the Login tab in Wix Studio). This is an important step to ensure that site visitors can't verify themselves by modifying page code.
