OpenCart Community

Hello !

I don't know if is correctly where i post it , but i am searching for an extension that can automatic make customer when order is created .
In My Shop , customers can make orders as guest , but those orders are not catch as customers .
There would be a good idea to keep the customer when order is created , not only as register mode .

Best regards,
Dnk

Guests wont give you information such as their password of choice, so how do you intend to work around that? Also, you would assume the email they specify in their billing address to be the email they would pick to register an account.

So all you could do at this point would be guessing. The best you could do would be to use that email to send them a message asking if they wanted to register an account and pointing them to a page where they just had to type in their desired password.

This is a good idea. Cs-cart has this sort of behavior and it's very handy. It's just a customer that can't log in, like no password = account locked.

I will look into how this would work for oc 3.x over the weekend

While the above analogy is correct, another way to find a more distinguish account information is from the customer's transaction information details with the email address from the payment provider's API. It is less likely that a payment information may pass the anti-fraud system, when enabled, if there would be inaccurate payment information details. The email address may not be 100% accurate still even on a successful payment. However, it may definitely be more accurate compared to the one that is stored locally in Opencart since several payment processing systems may require to have a valid email address for account activation purposes.

By collecting those email addresses, it would avoid the guessing methodology as to ease your first point of contact in order to reach those customers.

The password can be random generated and sent into email as
"Welcome to {name}
Your account is ,
Username
Password
Activate account by click to this link
You can change the password when you log in"

I started building this out as an ocmod for Opencart 3, it works pretty well so far. I am working out the best method to distinguish guest vs registered vs existing emails without manipulating DB or causing issues if the mod is uninstalled. I think there will have to be a DB mapping table (oc 3 marketplace does not allow extra fields on customer) and some kinda reverse/disable guest logic.

I havent built the email part yet. I hope i can get it into marketplace by before Tues. Stay tuned

You're like the Japanese trains ! (It is good)
Does your mode will work for 2.3 too ?
