Is it possible to create a register page rather than creating users yourself?

  You can create a page on your front-end that can register users with Payload. You would have a form with the required User fields and you would submit a post request to the User collection /create endpoint. You will also need to handle -> Displaying errors (Invalid email, password, etc) and displaying success messages to the end user. You will also want to look at the docs for "Forgot Password" and other user-related endpoints.

  
  

  
  

  We do this for our company website, it takes a little setup, but works nicely.

  
  

  
  

  There are examples of using payload to create a registration system in the payload repository home on github.

  
  

  
  

  The benefits of using a system like Payload for authentication outweigh building your own IMO

  Thanks for the reply. I don't have a separate frontend app, I was hoping to extend Payload CMS to serve a page using a custom route. Is that not possible? Also I couldn't find a register system example in the official repository.

  For those like me, it's not /create anymore, it's

  
  
  

  POST /api/{collection-slug} Create a new document
