I am just building a webshop but I cannot see how to maintain a group of customers. My requirements are that a customer can return and see their previous orders and that if they make a second order all the fields are already populated.
Can anyone help with this??
Many thanks,
Simon
You should probably take a look at the e-commerce manual: http://matrix.squiz.net/resources/documentation

I have done. Forgive me for being dim but it looks like both the Cart and the E-Commerce Form or oriented for someone to arrive buy some goods and go.
I cannot see how user accounts can be integrated to see previous orders etc. I see that there is a reference to "My Wish List" and "Save for Later" but similarly I cannot workout how to integrate them. My key thing is to list products that have already bee purchased by the user.
Many thanks.

It may be possible to list orders from an Asset Listing. The E-Commerce Order assets - all successful transactions should be under "Completed" - will need Read Permission for the user who placed the order. As long as the user had to log in to view these, you could configure a Set Permission Trigger Action to fire once the order is created, to ensure that the user can list and read their own orders.
For security reasons, all orders are denied Public Read Permission by default. Understanding the permissions system and Trigger configuration is important if you are wanting to expose order details to the users who created them.
I apologise. I wasn't totally clear. I want the user to comeback and see the products they have previously ordered with a new paint_layout; so I can show them additional metadata, specifically links to premium content. Once the transaction in complete, I cannot see that there is a link to the original product, there only seems to be a paper receipt. How can I achieve this??
Many thanks,

I don't think you can do that with the ecommerce module.
Can you save sales as metadata on the users maybe? Don't know squat about the e-commerce package though…
