OpenCart Community

This vQmod redirects all "unlogged" customers through the guest checkout, bypassing the login/register page, and will automatically create a customer account based on the information provided. The checkout success page will display a message informing the customer of their login and password details.

The order will appear in the newly created customer account under "History" on the account page.

If customer already has an account, but is not logged in, the customer will NOT be redirected to the login page, but will be allowed to continue through the "guest" checkout. However, a new password will be created for that account (can be reset through the customer's account page).

Updated to include the checkout link on the sitemap page.

U Beauty !!!
I haven't fine tested it but a quick drop and play worked perfectly
Thank-you

AWSOME!

Just a short question, if a customer already has an account, the new order will be added to that account or will it be a guest-checkout order?

Short question - short answer: Yes.

If the customer already has an account, the order will be added to that account, providing they use the same email address. However, their password will be changed (new password being the customer's first name). If the customer uses a different email address, a new account will be created.

So basically you say that that the guest-checkout is account-create.

Looks like what PS has done with their latest release.

Yep. That's basically how it works. It uses the information gathered during the guest checkout procedure to create the account. It's pretty much the same information that you would provide to create an account anyway, the only differences being, you don't specify a password (it's created automatically) and there's no newsletter option (disabled by default).

Looks like what PS has done with their latest release.

Where'd they get that idea from?

I wrote an Express checkout for Prestashop 1.2 that pretty much did that. Not sure if they used the model I implemented but I am pretty sure the idea came from there from what I hear. Basically I masked a guest checkout but it created an account on the back-end that the user could later activate as a full account if they wished. Considering it was downloaded over 5000 times, I am sure it was well known to the developers as well...

Yeah, I was surprised how many people liked it. All that matters is if it helped sales. If a mod to the checkout helps with conversions, I am all for it no matter what it is!!

I was being facetious with that comment.

OK. This has been updated to include the link to the checkout on the sitemap page.

See first post in this thread.

Will you be updating this mod for 1.5.x?

Could you add a modification to it so when a "real" customer registers they get send a e-mail with their user-name and password?
You know, what you created for me?

Thanks!

How are existing customers informed that their password has been changed?

Thanks

Will this be updated for use with 1.5.x?

Sorry I didn't reply to the last few posts, I haven't been getting emails when posts have been added to this thread.

Yes, I will be updating this for 1.5.x. Got a couple of other modules to update first.

no none of the 1.4.x modules are compatible with 1.5.x particularly something to doe with the checkout since it's completely revamped for 1.5.x

It is possible to send email with user info after checkout?
