Create account after checkout

You’d need to disable registration in WooCommerce and link or output a registration form on the ‘thanks page’ using custom code. We don’t do it this way because we want to link the new order to the new account.

I have this same issue. I want my customer’s username/password automatically generated and emailed to them (this is for a membership site), so I imagine I could write a plugin to leverage WC’s ability to autocreate users but initiate it on the thank you page? Has anyone done this? Any pointers on what action I should attach to and if the order ID is accessible?

As Mike mentioned you’ll first need to:

1. Disable registration in WooCommerce
2. There are a few hooks that can be used, but woocommerce_thankyou looks like the most suitable one

add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'ashah_woocommerce_thankyou' );

function ashah_woocommerce_thankyou( $order_id ) {
    // add code to create the account and if required log them in
    // automatically
}
