This plugin is designed to simplify the process of creating new users\/customers. It's particularly useful if you receive client orders via phone or email and want to integrate these orders into WooCommerce for stock and order management.\nThe plugin adds a checkbox at the end of the billing address form. When this box is checked, it creates a new user with the role \"customer.\" If an email is not provided, the plugin generates a unique one using your site\u2019s domain as the email domain and the customer's name as the local part (e.g., firstname.lastname@your-site.com). You have the option to customize this auto-generated email format.<\/p>\n\n

Try it out for free with TasteWP:\nhttps:\/\/tastewp.com\/new?pre-installed-plugin-slug=woocommerce%2Cadd-customer-for-woocommerce<\/a><\/p>\n\n

By default, the newly created user does not receive any emails during account creation, though they will probably on order updates.<\/p>\n\n

In the settings menu, there are options to:\n- Check the box by default\n- Send login credentials to the new customer<\/p>\n\n

There are also additional options:\n- Update new customer information by default\n- Link customer orders\n- Define the user role individually\n- Set the user role for new customers\n- Customize the auto-generated email format\n- Edit the email subject for accounts created\n- Change the sender's email address<\/p>\n\n

Settings Menu:\nWooCommerce -> Add customer settings<\/p>\n\n

Required Plugins: WooCommerce 4.7.0 or higher\nRequired PHP extension: Intl<\/p>\n\n

If you like the plugin, please leave some stars or buy me a coffee. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/add-customer-for-woocommerce directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the \u201aPlugins\u2018 screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Enjoy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    What role will the new user have?\n- By default, the new user will have the \"Customer\" role. You can select a different default role from any available roles in the options menu.<\/p>\n\n

    What happens if an email already exists?\n- A new user will not be created. The plugin will assign the order to the existing user with that email.<\/p>\n\n

    How can I link guest orders to users?\n- Activate the option \"Link customer orders\" to associate guest orders with existing users.<\/p>\n\n

    Does the new user receive a notification about the created account?\n- No, not by default. This can be enabled on the settings page. An email will then be sent to the customer with login credentials, including a random password.<\/p>\n\n

    Can I change the email template for the new customer?\n- Yes, you can. Copy \"new-account.php\" from \"wp-content\/plugins\/add-customer-for-woocommerce\/templates\/email\" to \"wp-content\/themes\/[your-theme\/child-theme]\/woocommerce\/add-customer\/email\" and make your changes there.<\/p>\n\n

    Is it possible to change the email format?\n- Yes. You can select the preferred format in the Settings menu of the plugin.<\/p>\n\n

    Are there any hooks I can use?\n- Certainly! There are currently four filters:\n wac_add_customer_email - To modify the email saved by the plugin.\n wac_supported_fake_email_parts - To add custom fields support.\n wac_get_user_roles - An array with the user roles a user is allowed to set.\n wac_deactivate_user_emails - Allows you to override the deactivation of user emails\n- And two actions:\n wac_after_insert_new_customer - To execute after a new customer has been created.\n wac_after_insert_updated_customer - To execute after an existing customer has been updated.\n Consult the example file examples\/hooks.php for more details how to use them.<\/p>\n\n

    I created a users before the update 1.9.0 and would like use the feature to suppress the emails from being sent.\n - You can use the new hook \"wac_deactivate_user_emails\" for that. It has two parameters: $is_deactivated and $user_id. You can use this filter and return \"true\" for the users you like to suppress the messages.<\/p>\n\n\n
