Magic Link Authentication
Passwordless sign-in for your marketplace. Buyers and sellers authenticate with a simple email link.
Overview
All Prometora marketplaces use magic link authentication — a passwordless login system where users receive a secure link via email to sign in. No passwords to remember, no password reset flows to manage.
More Secure
No passwords to steal or guess. Each link is unique and expires after 15 minutes.
Faster Sign-up
Users just enter their email — no password creation or confirmation required.
Mobile Friendly
Works seamlessly on all devices. Users can click the link from any email app.
Auto-Redirect
The original browser tab automatically redirects when the link is clicked — even from another device.
How It Works
User enters their email
On the sign-in or sign-up page, the user enters their email address and clicks "Continue".
Magic link is sent
An email with a secure, one-time login link is sent to their inbox. The link expires in 15 minutes.
User clicks the link
The user clicks the link in their email. This can be on the same device or a different one.
Signed in automatically
The user is authenticated and redirected to their destination. The original tab also updates automatically.
The Magic Link Email
Users receive a branded email from your marketplace with a clear call-to-action:
Sign in to Your Marketplace
Click the button below to sign in. This link will expire in 15 minutes.
If you didn't request this email, you can safely ignore it.
Buyer & Seller Sign-up
When new users sign up, they can choose whether they want to be a buyer, seller, or both:
Buyer
Browse listings, make purchases, book experiences, and leave reviews.
Seller
Create and manage listings, receive orders, and track earnings.
