You've probably been looking for a way to register members on your site and protect the material from nonmembers. You've found it here with Member Reg.

Member Reg was designed to integrate easily with your site. It allows people to register with and without credits cards.  It protects the areas of your site specified as "member" areas.

Anytime a user enters a member section, a username and password box appears to validate the user. You've probably see this on a number of sites.

Member reg will maintain a database of members on your site that you can
email and do other functions.

It's set to accept credit cards from North Star Solutions(www.nstarsolutions.com) as soon as you set up an account with them. By the way, with North Star , you dont need to apply to a bank for a merchant account. They do the processing for you. It's easy and fast to set up.

If you want to completely automate the system using another card processor, we can do it for an additional amount. If another processor is used, user accounts can be activated manually. The process would be such: the card processor would send an email confirmation of the order to the admin and then the admin would check a box on the admin accounts panel to activate the account.
