Customer Settings

Create a new WordPress user upon appointment booking?

This option is used to register a user account at your site if you want to register the customer as a user of your site. So if you enable the switch of this setting then the user will be created at site if the user is not logged in to their account.

If the Email Is set to Not Required/Hidden while Customizing The Fields, and if you try to enable the Switch will not get Enabled and will display an error.

There are mainly 2 possibilities for user creation:

• Logged-in User
• Non-Logged-in User

Logged-in User:

If a user is already logged-in to their WordPress account then BookingPress checks whether the logged-in user’s email already exists or not as a BookingPress customer and if the email already exists as a BookingPress customer then connect that existing customer with logged in user else if the customer does not exist as BookingPress customer then it will automatically register as BookingPress customer and connect with the logged-in user.

Non-Logged-in User:

If a user books an appointment without logging-in to their WordPress account then if ‘Create new WordPress user upon appointment booking?’ setting disabled then user will register only as ‘BookingPress’ Customer.
