WooCommerce Customer to User

This plugin provides a seamless way to automatically create a WordPress user account for every new WooCommerce customer. It includes a robust set of administrative tools to manage this process and adheres to WordPress plugin development best practices.

The key features include:

Automatic User Creation: Automatically creates a new WordPress user with the ‘customer’ role when an order’s status changes to a selected status.

Existing User Matching: If a user with the customer’s email already exists, the plugin links the order to that existing user instead of creating a new one.

Guest Customer Migration:

Manual Migration: A dedicated admin page allows for a one-click process to migrate all existing guest customers from past orders into new WordPress user accounts.

Scheduled Migration: You can schedule the guest migration to run automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Migration History: A log is kept of all manual and automatic migration runs, including the date, type of run, and the number of users successfully migrated.

Safe Deactivation: The plugin includes activation and deactivation hooks to prevent fatal errors related to cron jobs and ensure a clean uninstall.

Upload the entire wc-customer-to-user folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

A new top-level menu item called “Customer to User” will appear in your WordPress admin menu. Navigate there to configure the settings and manage migrations.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin send an email to the new user? =
This version of the plugin does not automatically send a “new user” email. You would need to add a custom function to the create_user_from_order method to send such an email.

= Will this plugin create duplicate users? =
No. The plugin first checks if a user with the customer’s email address already exists. If it does, it will simply link the order to that existing user account.
