Members are individuals and businesses who interact with your website as customers, subscribers, or contributors.
Members in the Directory Module can log in to your site with their email address and password and make changes to their listing in an online directory. Your website may offer a paid directory listing using the eCommerce module or the members can be created manually.
Subscribers can view articles not available to the public and comment on them. You can decide what each permission level allows on your site. Subscribers may have permanent access to articles or access can be limited to the first through the last day of their paid subscription. When a subscriber pays for a subscription, they are purchasing a product created in the eCommerce module. When this purchase is made, the subscription dates will be determined by the Access Duration of the product.
Shipping and billing information for Customers is captured to speed up subsequent orders for eCommerce.
