I do not believe that login credentials and purchase order information have yet been combined in a single email. Before considering it the next best thing since sliced bread, consider the potential security concerns of that being true... you make a purchase from a site as an account manager for a business and then forward the order receipt to a worker who now has the login credentials... not cool.

Anyways, the normal process for such a visitor to make their first purchase at the site using paypal express is that they would receive an email indicating that they are a new customer, an email for the password that was randomly generated and an email with the order details for a total of 3 emails... if they were to purchase again from the site using paypal express, then they would receive just one email which would be the order details...

Is there a possibility that in this "second" site, that the database has been carried over which includes information about this "purchaser" such that an account creation doesn't occur and a password wasn't generated?

Dear mc12345678,
Hello again and I did another test just before coming to the forum and again i did not send that password, just one email confirmation of the order, as you said above.

BUT You have now just hit the nail on the head. I am using the older version database converted by the new install script so Yes you would be correct, that users info would be carried over. Also I am using the same email address etc for my testing.

So now i will have to i will have to use my partners card and name and email, if she lets me, so that it is a totally new customer unless in admin i am able to delete that test customers details i guess.

I will soon hopefully do that test with a different card, name and email and once i have checked that result, I will return with and answer here, but I feel sure that your answer above solves the mystery, and will add those comments to my cheat sheets for future reference to how the system works, and what should happen.

I very much appreciate your assistance and thank-you..

Kind Regards
Rodney
