Sign-in and registration via MAX

The customer presses a button, confirms the sign-in in a chat with your store bot and comes back to the storefront signed in. No password to invent, no e-mail to confirm, no SMS code to wait for.

Two steps
press the button on the site, confirm in the messenger
No per-message cost
the bot writes to the customer for free — no SMS gateway needed
The number is verified
the messenger signs the phone number it sends; it cannot be forged
CS-Cart 4.17.1+
and Multi-Vendor, all four editions

The problem it removes

Registration is the narrowest point on the way to an order. Invent a password, type an e-mail, wait for the letter, confirm the address: every step costs a share of the people who wanted to buy.

Signing in with an SMS code is shorter, but it has a price of its own: messages are paid for by the month and by the piece, the code arrives late, and with some operators it does not arrive at all.

Two taps to an account

A button in the sign-in form, a confirmation in the messenger — and the customer is in their account. No password, no e-mail address.

The phone number is verified

The number arrives with a signature the store checks with the bot key. Somebody else’s number cannot be substituted without that key.

Nothing beyond the price of the add-on

The bot is free, its messages are free, there is no subscription. No SMS budget is needed for signing people in.

Joins the stock sign-in form

The button appears both on the sign-in page and in the pop-up. Nothing to place by hand, no templates to edit.

What the customer sees

  • •  Presses the button. On a computer a window opens and hands them to the messenger; on a phone the MAX application opens straight away.
  • •  Confirms the sign-in. The bot says hello and asks to share contact details — one button inside the chat.
  • •  Comes back to the store. The tab refreshes itself and the customer is in their account.
  • •  Next time it is instant. The bot recognises a returning customer and lets them in without asking for a contact again.
The sign-in pop-up: the button is there too, not only on a page of its own.

What the store gets

  • •  A customer with a verified phone number. The number comes from the messenger rather than being typed in, so the database has no typos and no invented numbers.
  • •  Returning customers recognised. If the customer already exists, the sign-in goes into their existing account with the whole order history — the number is matched in every spelling the store itself produces.
  • •  Registration of new ones, if you want it. A setting keeps MAX sign-in for registered customers only.
  • •  Support that can answer. The customer profile shows whether they sign in through MAX and offers an unlink button, so “I cannot log in” takes a minute.

Settings

Exactly as many settings as it takes to start the sign-in and to decide two questions of store policy.

  • •  Bot token and username — what the messenger issues when the bot is created.
  • •  Connection — one button; the store fills in the update address itself and shows the state of the connection.
  • •  Register new customers — whether people may register themselves by phone number.
  • •  Sign-in attempt lifetime — how long the store waits for a confirmation; unfinished attempts clear themselves up.
Bot settings: token, username, update address and connection state.

Customer personal data

A line under the MAX button links the terms of use and the personal data processing policy of the store. The addresses are set in the add-on settings; the policy defaults to the page selected in the GDPR add-on.

When a customer registers with MAX or links it to an existing account by phone number, the GDPR consent log records the line they saw, the document addresses, the sign-in method, the IP address and the browser. Customers who linked MAX earlier get an entry on their next sign-in. A regular registration in the store is recorded there as “Registration”, and only when the customer ticked the consent box.

Getting started

STEP 1
Install the add-on

Through the Cart-Power Add-ons Manager — updates arrive the same way.

STEP 2
Create a bot in MAX

Inside the MAX application the service bot @MasterBot creates yours with the /create command. Free, a few minutes; the manual walks through every step.

STEP 3
Fill in the token and username

Both are issued by @MasterBot when the bot is created.

STEP 4
Press “Connect bot”

The store tells the messenger where to deliver events, and the button appears on the storefront.

Check this beforehand

The storefront has to open from the internet over HTTPS: MAX delivers events to secure addresses only. One bot serves one storefront — a second storefront needs a second bot.

What it does not do

Better said up front than discovered in support.

  • •  It does not replace the usual e-mail and password sign-in — the button stands next to it.
  • •  It does not send letters, order notifications or promotions through the bot: the bot is there for signing in.
  • •  It does not open the admin panel: customers sign in through MAX, staff and vendors do not.
  • •  It does not bring an e-mail address — the messenger does not pass one on, so a new customer gets a placeholder address and can replace it in their account.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a subscription fee?

No. The add-on is bought once, the bot is free and its messages are free. No SMS budget is needed for signing people in.

Do I need my own bot, and is it hard to create?

The bot has to be yours — it talks to customers on behalf of your store. It is created for free inside the MAX application through the service bot @MasterBot and takes a few minutes. The manual walks through every step and every command.

What happens to customers who are already registered?

They sign in to their existing account: the store looks the customer up by phone number in every spelling it produces itself — brackets, spaces and dashes make no difference.

Can I allow only existing customers to sign in?

Yes, there is a setting for it: with registration switched off the bot tells an unknown customer to register on the site first.

Does it work alongside SMS-code sign-in and Sber ID?

Yes. The button joins the same row as the other sign-in methods and does not interfere with them.

Is HTTPS required?

Yes, it is: MAX delivers events to secure addresses only. A storefront without a certificate cannot accept the bot, and the add-on says so when you try to connect it.

What about a multi-storefront store?

One bot serves one storefront. A second storefront needs a second bot with its own token.

One step in, instead of a registration form. Read the manual — it walks through creating the bot step by step, with every command.

We build, upgrade and speed up CS-Cart stores and marketplaces

Flagship products

Two add-ons that change how a store performs

Everything else we publish improves one screen. These two change the numbers: how customers find products, and how often they come back.

 

Add-on · Search & merchandising

Smart Search

Elasticsearch-powered search for large catalogues. The customer types two letters, sees products with images and prices, and buys from the dropdown — even after a typo or with the wrong keyboard layout.

Visitors who use the search bar are 24% of traffic and 44% of revenue, and convert about 2.5× better than people who only browse categories. If search returns nothing, up to 80% of them leave.
Constructor, Beyond Relevance Report 2025; Google Cloud × The Harris Poll, 2023

Catalogue size Sub-second results on 300,000+ products, Multi-Vendor included
Understands Typos, wrong keyboard layout, synonyms, word forms, SKUs, brands and attributes
Reporting Query analytics — what customers search for and which searches return nothing
Deployment Our cloud, or Elasticsearch on your own server

from $35/month

Plans by catalogue size · self-hosted from $1,215 one-time

Try it on a live catalogue: open the demo store and search with a deliberate typo.

 

Add-on · Mobile commerce

PowerApp — mobile app for your store

A native iOS and Android app running on your CS-Cart data: the same products, prices, stock, promotions, reward points and orders. There is no second catalogue to maintain — everything stays in the admin panel you already use.

A mobile site brings a customer in once; an app brings them back for free. Push notifications replace the retargeting budget you spend to buy the same customer a second time.

Platforms Native iOS and Android, published under your own developer account
Home screen Built in the admin panel from six block types, the same way you build website pages
Time to launch Under a week from purchase to submission for App Store and Google Play review
Compatibility CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.18–4.20 · 11 client apps already live in the stores

Services

When no add-on solves it, we do the work

Fixed scope, written specification, a named project manager and a warranty on what we ship.

Custom CS-Cart development

Functionality the platform does not have: add-ons, marketplace mechanics, integrations with 1C, CRM, ERP, payment and delivery providers. We start from a written specification, not from an estimate on a phone call. Details →

CS-Cart upgrade

Move to the current version without losing data, custom code or add-ons. We audit every modification first, upgrade on a staging copy, adapt what breaks and switch over with little or no downtime. Details →

Speed and performance optimisation

Conversion falls by about 4.4% for every extra second of load time. We profile the server, the database and the front-end, then fix what actually costs the seconds — and show you the before-and-after numbers. Details →

Design for CS-Cart

Mobile-first storefront design built on CS-Cart's own template structure, so the layout survives the next platform upgrade instead of becoming a migration problem. Details →

SEO for CS-Cart

A technical audit of indexing, duplicates, redirects, structured data and Core Web Vitals — delivered as a prioritised fix list your developers can act on, or that we implement ourselves. Details →

How we work

What you get besides the code

Before we start

We discuss the goal, offer options and write the specification. You approve scope and price before development begins.

While we build

A named project manager reports progress on a fixed schedule. You always know what is in work and what is next.

Before release

A separate QA pass on every release — the developer who wrote the code is not the person who signs it off.

After handover

Documentation for everything we ship, plus a warranty on the modifications and the project.

Tell us what the store needs to do

Describe the task in a couple of sentences and we will come back with options, a scope and a price. The consultation is free, and we will say plainly if a ready-made add-on already solves it.
