I have an annual event ticket sales site up, so we get many users without many returning users. So, I recommend that they don't register and they let PPEC create their account.
Unfortunately, multiple people now have entered their email into PPEC as "[email protected]".
I believe that when PPEC returns to zencart, zencart says 'we already have that customer registered' and uses that customer_id for the order. This causes some confusion as the original owner's registration shows orders from others, and the later orders get their billing address filled in from the existing customer address book.
I don't know if there's any way to avoid this - it could just as easily be '[email protected]" as "[email protected]". I'm wondering what the best way to 'fix' this is.Should I go into MySQL and change the email address on the zen_customers table? This will prevent future customers from joining in to the existing dummy email. How about the existing orders that are erronously tied to the initial customer - can I simply create a new customer record in zen_customers and change the customer_id in zen_orders?
Not a big, gating problem, actually more of a curiosity question.
Thanks,
Carl
