I have been running into an issue and no matter how many times I contact support the issue is never really fixed there is nothing but a bunch of go around.
The issue is if you go to be website www.gorillafutures.com anyone can sign up and this creates some confusion and I have actually lost customers over this. ALL my content is on a paid plan only I offer very little to no free content. I have set all my pages to membership only but this doesn’t fix the fact that people can still create accounts and they get annoyed , rightfully so that they did not sign up for the correct option and have to re do everything.
How can I get around this? In a perfect world the only way you can sign up is after you have paid for the plan. I can’t be the only person running into this issue.
If i have to I would gladly hire someone to fix this but I honestly can’t believe there isn’t a fix for this.
Any help would be amazing as this is becoming very frustrating.
Thank you!
First thing I would do on your website is to take off the login button on your header and have a link instead to a members page for example, which can only be accessed by paid members.
The login window will let users click on the signup option instead and simply signup without having to go through your paid plan option.
You can look at making your own Corvid lightboxes for login and signup instead of using the Wix default or custom signup.

Also, can we assume that you have read through the Wix Support pages for Wix Paid Plans here.

As for using Paid Plans app, when you select a plan you have to sign up to the website, as mentioned here in this tutorial.

-
When a visitor clicks Yes , the button’s event handler calls the orderPlan() function to order the plan.
-
The function checks if the user is logged in, and if not, prompts for login.
-
When the user is logged in, the function creates, and returns, an orderResult object.
-
A payment procedure is initiated using the ID from the orderResult object, causing a payment window to appear.
You can read more about Wix Paid Plans through code in the Wix API Reference here.

Finally, just note that this Corvid Forum deals with all code related issues on your site, so if you are not using any code on your site then you would be best suited going through Wix Support only.
One of the reasons I posted this here is because I was curious about having to code something for this issue.
with using the corvid login screen would it be possible instead of the having it say "already a member " Login instead have it only be a login form and say something like new members here and link to the paid plans sign up page?
