Authorization and registration by phone number for OpenCart 3 (Phone Auth)

The main pain of online stores and why every site needs this module
Most modern users make purchases from smartphones. No one is comfortable entering long email addresses and confirming them using links in the mail. It is much easier and more common for the buyer to indicate his phone number, which the system will automatically recognize and format.
The Phone Auth module replaces or supplements the E-Mail field with a phone number, maintaining compatibility with all third-party modules, templates and payment gateways.

Will old clients registered by E-Mail be able to log in by phone?
YES, 100%!
The module includes a unique intelligent algorithm for normalizing telephone numbers:

• If the client registered in your store a year or three ago using E-mail
  

  alex@mail.ru

  and indicated the phone number
  

  +7 (999) 111-22-33

  , he will be able to log in:
  
  • By entering your phone number in any format (
    

    +7 (999) 111-22-33

    ,
    

    89991112233

    ,
    

    79991112233

    or
    

    9991112233

    );
  • Or by entering your usual E-mail
    

    alex@mail.ru

    .
• The algorithm matches the number using the canonical E.164 format and the last 10 digits, so no old customer will lose access to their orders andbonuses!

Key features and benefits of the module

1. 1. 1. 1. Universal authorization (Dual Login Mode):
            
            • Single smart login field: the buyer can enter both a phone number and his E-mail.
            • The system automatically detects the input type on the fly.
         2. Registration without mandatory E-mail:
            
            • Ability to completely remove/hide the E-mail field when registering a new account.
            • Phonebecomes the main buyer identifier.
            • The “Phone is required, E-mail is optional” mode is available.
         3. 100% protection against failures in third-party modules (Smart Dummy E-mail):
            
            • In the OpenCart database field
              

              email

              has a strict limitation
              

              NOT NULL

              . If you simply delete your email, payment gateways, 1C, CRM and delivery services will fall off.
            • Our module automatically creates a valid technical address when registering by phone (for example,
              

              79991234567@phone.site

              ), which guarantees flawless operation of acquiring (Sberbank, YuKassa, Tinkoff, Robokassa) andsending checks under 54-FZ!

              +7

              for Russian numbers.
