   shouldn't WooCommerce offer a registration frontend, or at least point the direction into WP registration page?

   I'm developing my own solution right now, but for the average user I think this represents a serious issue...

   Registration is built into the checkout process - it asks for a password and creates an account.

   yep, i got that... haven't seen at first...

   anyway, I ended up using a plugin to handle only the registration

   the site i'm working has extra features for registered users, so it makes sense to register without buying anything

   but, as WC has built in registration capabilities, and its user meta_values can be integrated into WP User Profile, I believe it'd be a nice feature to have this separated from the Check-out

   yea I agree... usability-wise there should be a registration link or something in the My Account page. I added some info text on that page saying an account would be created in the checkout process, but of course that's still displayed when a user is logged in, so it's confusing for people.

   brasofilo, what plugin did you end up using? I'm working on resolving the exact same issue for WooCommerce.

   Thanks, brasofilo. My client wants to approve customer registrations before they can shop (she's running a wholesale knitting pattern store) so she wants to have the fields that come up in the ordering process on the registration form. You were able to do something like that with Theme My Login?

   I worked with this in a very fast project and don't have access to it anymore.
   But If I remember well you have to make the TML field names match Woo's

   I suggest you make a testing site to test both working together
   - and if you are confortable with PhpMyAdmin, create accounts using each plugin and compare the meta_key/meta_value in the table wp_usermeta

   Thanks! That was just the help I needed. I've got it all working now.
