Customers Having to Create An Account

[tachia]

I thought customers would have the option not to create an account in order to checkout. How do you set up the shopping cart, so that the customer does not have to create an account, but just provide the shipping and email address to receive notifications and process orders?

Thanks.

In /conlib/onepagecheckout.ascs.cs you need to change the bool _AllowAnonymousCheckout at the top of the page to true. Then users don't need an account to purchase on the site. If you are not a technical person then we can do the work for you.

You don't really need to go into the code to fix this. You can edit the OnePageCheckout scriptlet as follows to do this: [[ConLib:OnePageCheckout AllowAnonymousCheckout="True" ]], which can be done as an Admin in Edit Page mode.

Changing it in code as sandcastle said changes the default value from false to true.
