In this document, you’ll learn how registered and unregistered accounts are distinguished in the Medusa application.
|

|
||
## `has_account` field
|
||
|
||
The `Customer` data model has a `has_account` field, which is a boolean that indicates whether a customer is registerd.
|
||
|
||
When a guest customer places an order, a new `Customer` record is created with `has_account` set to `false`.
|
||
|
||
When this or another guest customer registers an account with the same email, a new `Customer` record is created with `has_account` set to `true`.
|
||

||
## Email Uniqueness
|
||
|
||
The above behavior means that two `Customer` records may exist of the same email. However, the main difference is the `has_account` field’s value.
|
||
|
||
So, there can only be one guest customer (having `has_account=false`) and one registered customer (having `has_account=true`) with the same email. If another customer tries to create an account with the same email, they’ll get an error that an account with this email already exists.
