Migrate guest data to user data

@lovingbro ,

Thanks for the feedback. Did some extensive digging and it seems that the *chosen_shipping_method* gets overridden somewhere between “woocommerce_cart_loaded_from_session” and before the “woocommerce_shipping_method_chosen” hook. This is because indeed it seems that recalculations maybe triggered and the chosen_method is not available at the time which is weird( it appears the method in question rates disappeared despite explicitly restoring it at “woocommerce_restored_session_data”) as I assume after restoring the customer’s shipping infor( which is successful) the method should have been available.

My code…

add_filter( 'woocommerce_restored_session_data', function( $session_data ) {

				if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
					return $session_data;
				}

				$user_id = get_current_user_id();
				$cached  = get_transient( "session_data_{$user_id}" );
				if ( empty( $cached ) ) {
					return $session_data;
				}

				$session_data = maybe_unserialize($session_data);
				$cached = maybe_unserialize($cached);
				/*
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				| Restore shipping fields
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				*/
				if ( ! empty( $cached['customer'] ) ) {
					$session_customer = $session_data['customer'] ;
					$cached_customer  =  $cached['customer'];
					$shipping_keys = [
						'shipping_first_name',
						'shipping_last_name',
						'shipping_company',
						'shipping_address_1',
						'shipping_address_2',
						'shipping_city',
						'shipping_state',
						'shipping_postcode',
						'shipping_country',
					];

					foreach ( $shipping_keys as $key ) {
						if ( isset( $cached_customer[ $key ] ) && !empty($cached_customer[ $key ] ) ) {
							$session_customer[ $key ] = $cached_customer[ $key ];
						}
					}
				}
				/*
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				| Restore chosen shipping methods
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				*/
				if ( ! empty( $cached['chosen_shipping_methods'] ) ) {
					$session_data['chosen_shipping_methods'] = $shipping_methods = $cached['chosen_shipping_methods'];
					if ( ! empty( $shipping_methods ) ) {
						// Force WooCommerce to acknowledge the restored method
						WC()->session->set( 'chosen_shipping_methods', $shipping_methods );
						// Needed to prevent WC from overriding your rate during refresh
						$_POST['shipping_method'] = $shipping_methods;
					}
				}
				/*
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				| NEW: Restore shipping_for_package_* values
				|----------------------------------------------------------------------
				*/
				foreach ( $cached as $key => $value ) {

					// match keys like shipping_for_package_0, shipping_for_package_1, etc.
					if ( stristr( $key, 'shipping_for_package_' )  ) {

						

						// Also update WC()->session live
						$unserialized = maybe_unserialize( $value );
						$session_data[ $key ] =  $unserialized;
						WC()->session->set( $key, $unserialized );
					}
				}

				

				return maybe_serialize($session_data);

			}, 10, 1 );


		

I will look into your suggestion but I think even before those hooks you mentioned it still seems to be happening.

The reason for the custom code was not intentional and sort to ensure that the guest session was properly migrated. I was of the notion that on login on the checkout page that any settings on the checkout form would have been restored. But woocommerce attempts to “RESET” and override this which is what I needed to prevent( at least from shipping info standpoint)

If i removed this “custom code” then how exactly does woocommerce migrate the guest session data to the returning custom session to retain whatever previous shipping info( address, shipping options etc.) before login?
