  • How it works: When the customer later creates an account using the same email address used at checkout, their past orders automatically appear in their account.
  • Setup details: No extra apps or complex configuration were suggested. Ensure guest checkout is turned on in store settings.
  • Clarification asked: Whether any other option needs activation or alternative solutions exist. Response indicated no additional setup beyond enabling guest checkout.

Outcome: Consensus that enabling Guest Checkout satisfies the requirement; past orders link to the new account via the same email. Discussion appears resolved with no further actions noted.

Hey @Darcon !

There should not be any additional setup needed to accomplish this besides making sure that guest checkout is enabled. Once the customer registers, they should automatically be able to see any past orders that were placed using the same email address.
