WordPress WooCommerce checkout Auth0 user creation results in error

[Johnny99211]

Hi,

I've found a script to create an Auth0 user during WooCommerce checkout process. Somehow, the script doesn't work anymore and results in an error:

The user already exists.

This makes absolutely no sense because I've only my admin user, which has totally different data.

This is how I implemented the user creation by using the official Auth0 plugin:

/**
 * Create new Auth0 user on WooCommerce user creation
 */
add_action( 'woocommerce_created_customer', 'woocommerce_created_customer_action', 10, 3 );
function woocommerce_created_customer_action( int $customer_id, array $new_customer_data, string $password_generated ) {
	$a0_options = WP_Auth0_Options::Instance();

	if ( $a0_options === null ) {
		return;
	}

	$payload = [
		'client_id'   => $a0_options->get( 'client_id' ),
		'email'       => $new_customer_data['user_email'],
		'password'    => $new_customer_data['user_pass'],
		'connection'  => 'One-Agency',
	];

	$new_auth0_user = WP_Auth0_Api_Client::signup_user( $a0_options->get_auth_domain(), $payload );

	if ( $new_auth0_user && isset( $new_auth0_user->_id ) ) {
		$new_auth0_user->sub = 'auth0|' . $new_auth0_user->_id;

		unset( $new_auth0_user->_id );

		$user_repo = new WP_Auth0_UsersRepo( $a0_options );
		$user_repo->update_auth0_object( $customer_id, $new_auth0_user );
	}
}

I've done multiple tests with different E-Mail-Addresses, no chance. I'm always getting the same error over and over:

}

Since I'm at least very new to Auth0, I've no clue what's going on here. I really hope, that you can hint me in the correct direction.

Also, I'm struggling with updating the user on the account details page. If you may know a class or function I can use here, I would be very glad.

I need to mention, that I'm using the version from the WP plugin repo. Not sure, what this version here belongs to.

Hey @Johnny99211 👋 Apologies for the delay — is this still an issue for you? I'll investigate further this week and see if I can reproduce this on my end, if so. A "user already exists" error should only be occurring if the database attached to con_cAsIH572PEljbV2H already has a user by that email address already present. Can you confirm from the Auth0 dashboard that these accounts are not already in your connection store?

Hello. We’ve decided to cancel our Auth0 subscription. We’re now using a different solution.

Hi @Johnny99211, do you mind to share where did you find the script to create Auth0 user during woocommerce checkout process? Thanks!
