CyberStore Connect for WordPress is an available plug-in built for WordPress. The plug-in provides integration between your WordPress site and a CyberStore instance and is designed to handle authentication between CyberStore Accounts and WordPress logins.

Features of CyberStore Connect for WordPress
When using CyberStore Connect for WordPress you will direct visitors to your WordPress site to the login page of your CyberStore, allow the shopper to enter their username and password, and once confirmed, redirect them back to the WordPress page from which the login was initiated. Communication between WordPress and CyberStore will grant your user access to a matching WordPress login which can then allow for you to secure content on the WordPress site. While a shopper is active on either the CyberStore or WordPress site, the sessions of the other are kept active allowing shoppers to flow freely between sites while remaining logged in.
The first time a shopper authenticates to CyberStore via the plug-in functionality, a corresponding WordPress user is created and placed within a role equivalent to the shopper's CyberStore Customer Class. By doing so, the WordPress administrator is able to secure content in WordPress as deemed appropriate allowing or prohibiting access based on the WordPress user.
The CyberStore Connect plug-in page allows the WordPress administrator to configure their integration to CyberStore using previously configured information setup within the CyberStore Connect maintenance page in the CyberStore Management Console.
