There is a method with the API as Liam suggested, but if get "blank" (or some sort of other) info on the return can't you just check for this with an AJAX call? It's re-inventing the wheel and should be something BC handles but it might fix your issue.

It wont create an account, it will add the order to the same customer entry in the system. I know its a nice to have and Pretty has built an API solution we use for some use cases to do that but it wont screw up anything in your system if you do it right.

Meaning create an account with the same email as you used the first time

Create and account.

We have customers create an account to be able to make a purchase, but if you CREATE an ACCOUNT (instead of logging in), we get no error. It just goes blank as if nothing has happened.

I'd expect the system to kick out something like "account exists, did you forget your password?" or something like that.

Not a the moment no.

Forms filled in are assigned to that person. What is the form trying to do?

When I "create an account" and enter details, IF the email is already in the system, I get NO error and NOTHING happens.

Is there a way to set the system to warn a user that an account already exists to avoid confusion?
