New user registration

[Giles Roberts]

Dear All,

Is it possible to capture extra information when a new customer logs in to the site? I ideally I'd like to have a check box to say whether they'd like to receive marketing emails and an optional entry box for their mobile number.

Regards Giles.

Thanks. That helped a lot.

Is there any built-in way (or easy hack) to make the user registration optional during checkout? Right now, user registration seems mandatory.

Thanks,
Bryan

Yes, when you call the One Page checkout you can set that parameter. The syntax for that and parameters for other controls is in the Help-->ConLib Reference

Set AllowAnonymousCheckout to true for OnePageCheckout

Code: Select all

[[ConLib:OnePageCheckout AllowAnonymousCheckout="true"]]

And if we do this, does anybody know how this will affect coupon functionality? For example, if we create a coupon where Uses Per Customer=1, will the system still be able to keep track of uses per customer, when customers are anonymous? I'm guessing it will break the coupon functionality....?

No for this you have to make sure that user must have account.
