1. As a Merchant I want all placed GuestOrders automatically be linked to an existing Customer/ShadowCustomer based on the email address of the order.

2. As a Merchant I want all placed GuestOrders that can’t be automatically linked to a Customer/ShadowCustomer (because it doesn’t exist) automatically create a ShadowCustomer.

4. As a Visitor I shouldn’t know that a ShadowCustomer is being created: I shouldn’t receive email communication about it.
