Hi,
I have installed the User Integration Add-On and have allowed users to register as a ‘guest’ or logged in through their account. When a new user registers for an event, how do you allow them to create a new user account? Is there a way to add a checkbox during the checkout stages to create a new user accounts?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Hi Chris,
It turns out that it’s an automatic feature. If the WP Users Integration add-on is set to create a new user account, it creates an account if they’re not logged in and they don’t already have an account.

Ok, but it’s set to not create a new user account, is there a way for users to create a new user account?
We would like users to have the option to be able to register as a guest or through their account. If we make all registrations automatically create an account, that eliminates the ability to register as a ‘guest’ without an account or creating an account.
Is this possible?

Sure you can send them to your site’s user registration page where they can register a new user account. This can happen before or after checkout.
This is more of a general WordPress feature and here’s a really nice guide that explains more about how WordPress user registration works:

I went ahead and enabled ‘yes’ to Auto Create with registrations for one of our events but it didn’t create a new user and didn’t include any additional information at checkout to create a password or anything regarding the new user account.
I followed the User Integration Add-On documentation but it seems like I either missed something or there’s an issue because it’s not creating the users.
Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks

You will need to be logged out of the site when you register for an event. Along with that, you will not see any additional information at checkout to create a password because the new account information is sent to the email address filled out on the registration form after checkout.
