Convert guest orders into registered customer accounts with a single click

What is this plugin?

WooCommerce Create User from Guest Orders is a lightweight plugin that allows store administrators to convert guest orders into registered customer accounts directly from the WooCommerce Edit Order screen. With a single click, you can create a new user account using the customer’s billing and shipping information, making it easier to manage customer relationships and provide a better shopping experience.
