Create an account for customers

Hi @jord8on ,

I have a couple checkboxes on checkout that allow customers to

1) create an account
2) subscribe to newsletter

When I have a “checkout with google pay or apple pay” on the product page, they are not given this option.

That is expected as when customers use Google or Apple Pay, they follow Google/Apple Pay’s checkout flow rather than following the website’s own checkout forms and flow.

Out of the box, there isn’t an option in Stripe extension that allows for an integration between checkout options (checkboxes) when a new account is created when a customer uses Apple/Google Pay.

This may be possible via customization, I recommend collaborating with a developer locally for customization or contacting a vetted developer from https://woocommerce.com/customizations/

Do let us know if you have any further queries.

Hey wpnomad!

Thanks for the quick response. Not the answer that I wanted to hear, but at least I have a place to go to explore further options.

As much as I love the simplicity of google pay and apple pay, the most important thing is that when a customer purchases one of our products is that we’re able to capture their email address so that we can continue to market to them and share other great offers that they may be interested in.

Perhaps we could do this by using Integromat or Zapier? Maybe we could set a Stripe trigger that when a new order is created, we take bits of data from that new Stripe order and create a WooCommerce customer as a result. ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

Hi @jord8on ,

That is indeed a neat idea. When an order is placed by a customer for the first time on your site using Apple or Google Pay, a user already gets created for them.

I believe using Zapier you should be able to check whether the user paid via Apple/Google Pay and then update the user options.

WooCommerce also has an extension for Zapier – WooCommerce Zapier.

I hope this helps!
