Configure Self-Registration

After you set up an account for your new customers, configure self-registration for your site.

Use these resources to configure a self-registration page. Depending on your page type, you can also add functionality with Apex or add fields to collect additional user information at sign-up. You can also completely customize the self-registration process by modifying the Apex controller.

• Self-Registration Page Types
  Depending on your business needs, you can choose from a few page types to implement self-registration for your site. For example, choose a self-registration page type that lets your users register with an email address or phone number.
• Modify the Default Self-Registration Page
  If you're using the Default self-registration page, you can customize it with Visualforce.
• Use the Configurable Self-Reg Page for Easy Sign-Up
  To give visitors a simpler, mobile-centric self-registration experience, use the Configurable Self-Reg Page. With this self-registration page, users can sign up with only an email address or phone number, instead of having to create a username and password. With this lightweight sign-up process, you can limit the amount of information that you collect from the users when they sign up. On subsequent logins, you can get more information, building a member's profile through progressive profiling powered by the login flow.
• Extend the Configurable Self-Reg Handler in Apex
  When you select the Configurable Self-Reg Page registration type on the Login & Registration page, Salesforce generates the AutoCreatedConfigSelfReg handler. The handler contains logic for users to register with their email address or phone number. You can modify the handler in Apex to customize self-registration. You can add logic to ensure that a new member’s email address and phone number are unique in your org.
• Create Custom Error Messages in the Configurable Self-Reg Handler
  If a user makes a mistake when trying to self-register for your site, the Apex handler displays a generic error message. You can customize the error message that appears on the self-registration page and verify pages using the Auth.DiscoveryCustomErrorException exception.
• Collect More Information on the Experience Builder Self-Registration Page
  When users register, you often want to ask them for more than just basic information. If you're using the Experience Builder self-registration page, you can easily add fields to collect additional information.
• Test Your Self-Registration Process
  When you configure self-registration, or change your self-registration process or page, test the process to make sure it works.
