WooCommerce checkout – email exists

    Hi there,
    I’m using woocommerce for checkout. On the checkout screen, my design does not allows a user to register and “adding a new user” is being done by admin after successful payment. However, I noticed that on checkout page, there is no check to ensure email address already exists in database. Can someone please help me with this?
    Note: I’m not talking about checking existing email during registration.

    Hey @enigma82

    With WooCommerce you can create users at checkout by disabling the Enable guests checkout option. This in turn will not allow a user who already exists to checkout but prompt them to login first – retaining the cart content along the way. Here is a doc to help:

    If you’re using a plugin or have a code base that creates users at checkout other than the default, you’ll have to alter it to work similarly or team up with a developer to help.

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
