How does woocommerce handles linking of past guest orders?

Hi there,

There’s no function in WooCommerce to automatically link the past guest orders. However, here’s a great resource for accomplishing this: https://www.skyverge.com/blog/automatically-link-woocommerce-orders-customer-registration/

Thanks, yes I have already seen that article, but it is pretty old and the method doesn’t seem too scalable in the long run, for example, our marketplace has thousands of orders so this could be a bottleneck during user registration as it has to check order per order.

This is a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

I can also recommend the following places for more development-oriented questions:

1. WooCommerce Slack Community: https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/
2. WooCommerce FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/

Hey @ssoulless

As there has been no active participation in this thread and we haven’t heard back from you in a while, I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

Thanks,

we have this problem too, why WooCommerce didn’t do that automatically!

same… they should do it automatically
