FlowsEmail validation at registration is a common feature of e-Commerce web and mobile sites. Any newly registered user has to confirm the mail he entered is valid, usually by clicking on a confirmation link in a mail received on the provided email address.
This has many purposes:
- Make sure the provided email address is valid at registration time
- Decrease the risk of loosing ticket information sent to the user
- Provide a clean email base for future marketing campaigns and so avoid mass bouncing
- Avoid identity theft by a sacripant abusing a malformed email address
To achieve this, Secutix now provides various email validation mechanisms
The email validation registration process can be enabled or disabled per institution. It is enabled by default for all new institutions and will be gradually enabled for older institutions.
Ticketshop
Users need to have a validated email address to access the ticketshop
Email validation is initiated under these use cases:
- New user creation with a local account, i.e. no SSO account
- B2C User email address modification
- B2B Individual and Relay contacts email address modification
In all cases, the email validation process is performed as follows:
- The user gets an account verification email
- He must click on a link provided within the email body
- This opens a page on the ticketshop that states that the validation was successful with a login button to proceed to normal login
Conditions
- A ticketshop logged user that modified his email himself will be forcefully logged our and needs to log in again
- A ticketshop logged user that had his email modified in the back office by an operator is allowed to stay on the ticketshop until the end of the session
- Guests are not subject to email verification
- SSO Account are considered as verified by default. The validation responsibility lies with the SSO IDP manager
