Add Customer for WooCommerce

Beschrijving

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.
The 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’s 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.

By default, the newly created user does not receive any emails during account creation, though they will probably on order updates.

In the settings menu, there are options to:
– Check the box by default
– Send login credentials to the new customer

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

Settings Menu:
Settings -> Add customer settings

Required Plugins: WooCommerce 4.7.0 or higher
Required PHP extension: Intl

FAQ

What role will the new user have?
– 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.

What happens if an email already exists?
– A new user will not be created. The plugin will assign the order to the existing user with that email.

How can I link guest orders to users?
– Activate the option “Link customer orders” to associate guest orders with existing users.

Does the new user receive a notification about the created account?
– 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.

Can I change the email template for the new customer?
– 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.

Is it possible to change the email format?
– Yes. You can select the preferred format in the Settings menu of the plugin.

Are there any hooks I can use?
– Certainly! There are currently three filters:
wac_add_customer_email – To modify the email saved by the plugin.
wac_supported_fake_email_parts – To add custom fields support.
wac_get_user_roles – An array with the user roles a user is allowed to set.
– And two actions:
wac_after_insert_new_customer – To execute after a new customer has been created.
wac_after_insert_updated_customer – To execute after an existing customer has been updated.

Das ist eine tolle Extension, die aus der Praxis geboren die tägliche Arbeit erledigt. Super! Jetzt schaue ich mal, wie ich Kunden anlege und gleich einer Kundengruppe mit Rabatt zuweisen kann. Auf jeden fall weiter so! This is a great extension that is born out of practical experience and gets the job done every day. Super! Now I'm going to see how I can create customers and assign them to a customer group with a discount. Keep up the good work!

Works perfectly! There is no better and faster way to go from customer (guest) to user a client who has purchased but not signed up. Thank you very much!

The plugin that does as described. On top of that, since the latest version it also works for custom fields which extends its usage to another level.

This simple plugin saved me a lot of time! I was able to register as users a lot of customers that had previously made orders without logging in (as visitors), sending credentials automatically. Thanks!
