Bug: Customer is created when order is edited

Grüezi Daniel,

first of all, thank you for this plugin! I don’t know why WooCommerce does not have this feature built-in, it’s so useful!

I think I have found an annoying bug in version 1.2.

Prerequisite:
Plugin settings: “Add Customer” checkbox activated by default.

Situation:
A customer places an order via the frontend, and does NOT check the box “add customer account” during checkout. Everything works as it should, the customer receives the regular order confirmation mails. In the backend, I can see that this order was placed as a guest, and no customer account was created.

The Bug:
As soon as this order is edited and saved (either manually, or automatically, for example after PayPal payment has been received and the order status is changed into “processing”), a customer account is automatically created. This is not desired, as the user did not tick the box to have an account created.

Proposition:
With the plugin setting “Add Customer” checkbox activated by default, the checkbox should only be checked when creating the order. When the order is edited later on, the checkbox should not be checked, as this would create a customer account without the customer’s consent.

Workaround:
Plugin settings: “Add Customer” checkbox NOT activated by default.

Let me know if you need any more info on this.

Viele Grüße aus Deutschland!

Florian
