Guest Order Assigner

When a customer checks out as a guest in WooCommerce, this plugin will look for a user account with the same billing email and, if found, reassign the order to that user.

Key benefits:

• 🔗 Instant Assignment – New guest orders with a matching email are immediately linked to the customer’s account.
• 🔄 Historic Back-fill – On user registration or login, all past guest orders with that billing email are attached.
• ⚡ Zero Configuration – Works right out of the box; no settings to tweak.
• 🛠 Developer Hooks – Extend or customize via actions before/after assignment.
