Check Out as a Guest -> Order Status

sampoyigi

The idea is that only registered customer can check order status. Probably the email shouldn't be sent with a link when you checkout as guest?

When users are placing an order as a guest they don't expect an account to be created for them in the background.

This is similar to @zeta suggestion.. https://forum.tastyigniter.com/thread-108-post-3703.html#pid3703

However, the approach is a bit different in v3. A link is automatically generated for each order so both registered customers and guests can view their order.

When you check out as a Guest you will receive an email with a link to check the order status. When you click this link you have to log in, but since you have not registered, you dont have a password to log in.

I just added to the two email templates:

Order email to customer
Order status update email to customer

this line (available only if you were logged in at time of checkout)

@zeta that code did not carry over to 2.1.1 - I have 2.1.1 and still have this issue. The link is in the guest email. @sampoyigi it would be best if the guest automatically created an account and you create a password and send that to the guest when the account is created. They should get that first and then second email should be the one confirming receipt. AND, the links would work as the system automatically created an account for the user.
