Overview

By default, Magento 2 doesn't automatically link the guest orders as customer orders if the account with email supplied during the checkout process already exists. That is where this module comes in handy. This module automatically synchronizes the orders on the basis of order email address. You can even sync previously added orders through the admin panel.

Installation

• Composer Installation

  Inside your project root directory, run composer require aashan/module-link-guest-orders.

  Make sure to run post installation scripts.

• Manual Installation

  This module can be installed by downloading the latest release and extracting the files under <your project root>/app/code/Aashan/LinkGuestOrder. Once the files have been extracted, run the post installation scripts.

  To install it via git, follow the following process.

  • cd <your project directory>
  • mkdir app/code/Aashan/LinkGuestOrder && cd app/code/Aashan/LinkGuestOrder

API

The module provides a simple API for auto linking the orders to their respective customers. The main API is available through Aashan\LinkGuestOrder\Helper\OrderLinkHelper helper class. It consists of a method linkOrderToCustomer which takes object of Magento\Sales\Model\Order class as the only argument.

Below is an example on using the API.

<?php 
...

use Aashan\LinkGuestOrder\Helper\OrderLinkHelper;
use Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order\CollectionFactory;
...

public function __constructor(
	...,
	OrderLinkHelper $helper,
	CollectionFactory $factory,
	...
){
	$this->helper = $helper;
	$this->factory = $factory;
};

...
...

public function linkOrderById($orderId){
	$order = $this->factory
				->create()
				->addFieldToFilter(
					'entity_id', 
					$orderId
				)
				->getFirstItem();
	$this->helper->linkOrderToCustomer($order);
}
...
