Merge Guest Orders to Customers

Invigorate System's Merge Guest Order To Customer extension seamlessly integrates guest orders into registered customer accounts by linking purchases made via guest checkout to the customer's profile using the same email address. This feature is crucial for Magento stores that allow guest checkouts, ensuring that all customer transactions are unified under one account. It simplifies management for both the store admin and the customer, providing a cohesive view of order histories and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Additionally, our extension enhances the Magento admin order view by adding a new tab titled "Other Orders from UserName (20)," which displays the total number of orders placed by the customer. This feature provides admins with a quick snapshot of the customer's activity, highlighting their engagement and importance to the store.

How It Works

1. Customer Registration: A visitor signs up for an account using an email address.
2. Guest Checkout: The customer places an order as a guest using the same email address.
3. Automatic Linking: Upon order placement, our extension checks if a registered account exists with that email. If found, it automatically links the order to the account, setting is_customer_guest to 0.
4. Unified Order View: When the customer logs in, they will see their entire order history, including previous guest orders, in their account dashboard.
5. Post-Registration Sync: If a customer registers after placing one or more guest orders, all past orders are merged into their newly created account.

Example: John Doe, a registered customer, accidentally places an order as a guest. He uses the same email he registered with. Upon checkout, the extension recognizes John's email and immediately links the guest order to his existing account. When John logs in next time, he finds his guest order neatly included in his order history.

Possible Scenarios

1. New Account Sync: If a shopper places orders as a guest and then signs up for an account, all their previous orders are automatically linked to their new account.
2. Order Correction for Registered Users: If a registered customer places an order as a guest, the extension automatically assigns the order to their registered account.
