Magento 1.7 – How to Save Customer Name for Guest Checkout

checkoutmagento-1.7onepage-checkout

Customer name is not being saved in onestepcheckout module. Is there a step I missed in saving order?

$shippingInfo = array(
        'city'=> (string)$shippingAddress->City,
        'country_id' => (string)$shippingAddress->CountryCode,
        'email' => (string)$customerInfo->Email,
        'firstname' => (string)$firstname,
        'lastname' => (string)$lastname,
        'postcode' => (string)$shippingAddress->PostalCode,
        'street' => array(   (string)$shippingAddress->AddressLine1, ),
        'telephone' => (string)$shippingAddress->Phone,
        'use_for_shipping' => '1',
        'name'=>'hello there'
    );
    if(!empty($regionId)){
        $shippingInfo['region_id'] = $regionId;
    }
    else{
        $shippingInfo['region'] = $regionCode;
    }

$quote = $this->getOnepage()->getQuote();  
$quote->collectTotals()->save();
$quote->getBillingAddress()
    ->addData($shippingInfo);

$quote->getShippingAddress()
    ->addData($shippingInfo);
$quote->setCheckoutMethod('guest')
        ->setCustomerId(null)
        ->setCustomerEmail('test@example.com')
        ->setCustomerIsGuest(true)
        ->setCustomerGroupId(Mage_Customer_Model_Group::NOT_LOGGED_IN_ID)->save();
    $this->getOnepage()->saveOrder();
    $this->getOnepage()->getQuote()->save();

Sadly you have not missed a step. In the admin section template /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/sales/order/view/info.phtml you can see the call to getCustomerName on the order.

In the order class Mage_Sales_Model_Order the getCustomerName function is as follows:

public function getCustomerName()
{
    if ($this->getCustomerFirstname()) {
        $customerName = $this->getCustomerFirstname() . ' ' . $this->getCustomerLastname();
    }
    else {
        $customerName = Mage::helper('sales')->__('Guest');
    }
    return $customerName;
}

When a guest quote is prepared by the system it never sets the first and last name and so it never gets saved to the order:

protected function _prepareGuestQuote()
{
    $quote = $this->getQuote();
    $quote->setCustomerId(null)
        ->setCustomerEmail($quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail())
        ->setCustomerIsGuest(true)
        ->setCustomerGroupId(Mage_Customer_Model_Group::NOT_LOGGED_IN_ID);
    return $this;
}

So sadly all guest orders will be displayed as guest in the admin section. You could do one of the following things here.

If the code is not in the standard process just use the following $quote->setCustomerFirstname($firstname) and $quote->setCustomerLastname($lastname).
Mirror the front end order email display and take the name set in the billing address. $customerName = $this->getBillingAddress()->getName();
Set the customer first and last name (from the address) on the action sales_order_place_before or sales_convert_quote_to_order

Magento – ‘checkout as guest’ work same as ‘register’ with auto generated password

I would suggest observing customer_register_success event and doing something like this:

$customer = $observer->getEvent()->getData('customer');
/* TODO: check that registration type is 'guest'. Otherwise you overwrite inserted password */
$customer->setPassword(_your_generated_password_here_)->save();

Magento 1.7 – Customer Save Before Checkout Button Click

write an observer to get triggered on save billing or save shipping events and save the customer.

for example:

create Yournamespace_Yourmodulename.xml in app/etc/modules/

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
    <Yournamespace_Yourmodulename>
        <active>true</active>
        <codePool>local</codePool>
    </Yournamespace_Yourmodulename>
</modules>

in app/code/local/Yournamespace/Yourmodulename/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<modules>
    <Yournamespace_Yourmodulename>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
    </Yournamespace_Yourmodulename>
</modules>
<global>
    <events>
        <controller_action_postdispatch_checkout_onepage_saveBilling>
            <observers>
                <auto_register_shipping>
                    <type>singleton</type>
                    <class>Yournamespace_Yourmodulename_Model_Observer</class>
                    <method>autoRegisterBilling</method>
                </auto_register_shipping>
            </observers>
        </controller_action_postdispatch_checkout_onepage_saveBilling>
    </events>
</global>
</config>

in app/code/local/Yournamespace/Yourmodulename/Model/Observer.php

<?php
class Yournamespace_Yourmodulename_Model_Observer {

    public function autoRegisterBilling($evt){
        if(!Mage::helper('customer')->isLoggedIn()){
            $data = $evt->getEvent()->getControllerAction()->getRequest()->getPost('billing', array());
            $customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer");
            $email = $data['email'];
            $websiteId = Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId();
            $store = Mage::app()->getStore();
            $pwd = $data['customer_password'];
            $customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getWebsiteId())->loadByEmail($email);

            if (!$customer->getId()) {
                 //Code begins here for new customer registration
                $customer->website_id = $websiteId;
                $customer->setStore($store);
                $customer->firstname = $data['firstname'];
                $customer->lastname = $data['lastname'];
                $customer->setEmail($email);
                $customer->setPassword($pwd);
                $customer->sendNewAccountEmail('confirmed');  
                $customer->save();
                   }
           }
    }
}

note :

this will save a customer immediately after they click continue in billing information tab.
you can do this on save shipping or save payment method steps.

if you wanna automatically login that customer, add the following in Observer.php after

$customer->save();
}

Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->loginById($customer->getId()); // to login that customer.
