How do you do sign ups?

Right now, I've got users that sign up for my app on a Wordpress site. The app is hosted separately. I need to be able to sign users on the site and then transition them directly to a "create account" sort of page that will then associate the purchase with their account.

How do you do this? I'm open to any sorts of workflows. I've got a few ideas but this is something I'm completely unfamiliar with.

Let's say that I'm using Stripe for payment and my backend is Django (rest framework).

    Is there a particular reason you need to let them sign in on the WordPress site? The standard approach would be to just link them to your app subdomain (ie. app.example.com/register)

      Lol. Wow. I can't believe I didn't think to just have them register on the app itself but have the sign-up button on my wordpress site just link to the registration page.. And I've been thinking through this problem for a few weeks now.

    We have a similar setting with a landing page in Wordpress and a webapp in Vue with kotlin spring boot backend.

    We use https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/ such that the user logs-in with the Wordpress page credentials.

    This way you get:

    1. a single password functionality
    2. no new login required when going from App to WP site or the other way around
    3. integration into WooCommerce for purchase flows
    4. Flows for register, password reset, email change display name change etc...

    Note that you need the paid version of the plug-ins for any meaningful functionallity :-)

    They have to sign in then get directed to a create account page? Sounds repetitive.

      Do you use memberstack? How do they handle sales tax, it couldn't see anything on their website.
