Suggest to create user account when buying

This module extends the functionality of e-Commerce to suggest the buyer to log in or create an account, but without forcing him to do it.

This way you can avoid duplication of partners in your database and offer your users a better experience without blocking 1-time buyers.

However, the Process Checkout button is not highlighted, to implicitly encourage users to create the account or log in.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

On the website shop, this module suggests that anonymous buyers sign in or create an account before checking out, without forcing them to do so. It also makes the normal checkout button less prominent to encourage account creation.

When a visitor has products in the cart and is not logged in, the shop's checkout area shows extra buttons inviting them to sign in or sign up before paying. The wording changes depending on whether the website allows new account sign-ups: if sign-ups are allowed, the button says "Sign In/Up and Checkout"; if not, it says "Sign in and Checkout". Both buttons send the visitor to the login page and then back to the checkout.

  • The regular checkout button is shown in a secondary style (less highlighted) for anonymous visitors, so the account option stands out.
  • If the website is configured to require an account at checkout, the regular button keeps its primary style and the extra suggestion buttons are hidden, because the visitor is already being redirected to sign in.
  • The suggestion buttons are not shown on the payment step itself, only earlier in the checkout flow.
  • The module only changes the website shop's checkout navigation area; it does not add new menus, models, or database fields.

This is a small website e-commerce tweak aimed at reducing duplicate customer records and improving the buying experience for one-time shoppers, while still letting guests complete an order.
