Thread: Anon Customers and Customer ID

We want customers to have the same Customer ID if they use the same email address. Would it be possible to change the code to do this? We want users to be able to log in and track orders however if the order number keeps changing.

we have the core c#.

Thanks in advance.

It does seem there should be a better way to handle anonymous customers. On my old cart when customers checked out anonymously it looked up the email address, if it existed it just placed the order as that customer ... if the email did not exist it created a new customer record with a random password. At a later time if the customer wanted to checkout and register they could simply enter a password and it would reset the random to the newly entered one.
