Hi Kim

Signing up for newsletter is the same as creating a user. The "Signup for newsletter" feature on the cart settings is used for the newsletterv3 module - it adds the user to the user database and set user to be in the right categories.

If you use email marketing, you should use create user during checkout.

Part of the user creation proces is to check that the user does not create new accounts everytime. But I see your issue - you create the user 'invisible' without the user have to specify username and password?. Question is how we can change DW so it makes sense.

Could we change the behavior with a set of options like this:

If user exist

• Ignore creation of user
• Update userinformation (Name, address, etc.)
• Validate unique username (This is what we do now)

Hi Nicolai,

yes I create the user without asking, and the reason is that I want a clean checkout and I dont want the customer to make too many decisions in this phase. On the other hand I want to make use of the marketing and the personalization and the possibility to send mails based on what the customer previously purchased, personalized campaigns and so on.

If user exist

• Ignore creation of user (Must have)
• Update userinformation (Name, address, etc.) (Nice to have)
• Validate unique username (This is what we do now) (Option)

Kim

It makes perfect sense.

I will have this option added to the cart module (and we have a similar task for user management)
