Create account password field is collapsed, when email address is pre populated

Hi @sandornemeth,

If account creation is optional and the email is already provided, the step will considered as completed as all required fields are already provided which is the expected behavior.

In this case, I suggest you enable automatic account creation when completing an order, with the username and password fields being automatically generated.

WooCommerce will then send an email to the customer with a link to set their password, as opposed to sending the password in plain text via email as one might think — at least this was the behavior the last time I checked this flow.

It is also possible to set the “Contact” step as always “incomplete” but in this case if the customer refreshes the checkout page or re-visits it after leaving, they will always start from the first step as opposed to getting back to the step they where when they left.

The data entered by the customer will still be saved, but they will have to click to advance to the next steps to reach where they were before.

You can use the code snippet below to set the “Contact” step as always “incomplete” for guest customers:

/**
 * Mark contact step as incomplete for guest customers.
 */
function fluidcheckout_set_step_incomplete_guest_users( $is_complete ) {
	// Bail if user is logged in
	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { return $is_complete; }
	
	return false;
}
add_filter( 'fc_is_step_complete_contact', 'fluidcheckout_set_step_incomplete_guest_users', 100 );

Ideally though, the account creation should be moved to the order received page to avoid the customer having to make yet another decision during checkout.

I’m planning to add this feature to the PRO version by the end of the year, together with another features (account matching) that will allow unlogged registered customers to complete the purchase without logging in and attaching the order to their account.

In any case, I let you know once these features have been added.

I’m closing this topic for now. If you need further assistance, please reply to this topic.

Best,

Hi @sandornemeth .

We recently released a new version of Fluid Checkout PRO which adds this new feature: Account Matching.

You can purchase Fluid Checkout PRO to get access to this and many more great features.

In case you already have Fluid Checkout PRO activated on your website, the updates should already be available from your website dashboard. You might need to update Fluid Checkout Lite as well.

In case you don’t see the new updates on your website dashboard, please check our documentation: New versions updates are not appearing on my website.

Best,
Alan.
