Guest Order Assigner

Descripción

When a customer checks out as a guest in WooCommerce, this plugin will look for a user account with the same billing email and, if found, reassign the order to that user.

Key benefits:

  • 🔗 Instant Assignment – New guest orders with a matching email are immediately linked to the customer’s account.
  • 🔄 Historic Back-fill – On user registration or login, all past guest orders with that billing email are attached.
  • Zero Configuration – Works right out of the box; no settings to tweak.
  • 🛠 Developer Hooks – Extend or customize via actions before/after assignment.

Features

  1. Automatic Order Assignment
    Guest orders are automatically reassigned to an existing user account when the billing email matches.

  2. Historical Order Recovery

  3. Real-time Processing
    Both guest and logged-in checkouts are processed instantly during the WooCommerce checkout flow.

  4. Secure & Reliable
    Built on WordPress and WooCommerce best practices to ensure data integrity.

Preguntas frecuentes

Will this modify past orders?

Yes. After a customer registers or logs in with the same billing email, any previous guest orders will be reassigned to their user account.

What if two users share the same email?

WordPress prevents duplicate user emails by default. Only the first matching user will be used.

Guest Order Assigner has streamlined my WooCommerce workflow. Its email-based order matching automatically merges guest checkouts into user accounts, improving order history accuracy and customer retention. Setup took seconds, and works really smoothly.

I added this to my store a few days ago and it’s made life a lot easier. Before I was spending time every morning merging orders from guest checkouts into customer accounts. Now the plugin just handles it automatically whenever someone uses the same email address. Really happy with this plugin!
