    public bool AllowAnonymousCheckout
    {
        get { return _AllowAnonymousCheckout; }
        set { _AllowAnonymousCheckout = value; }
    }

    private bool _EnableAutoCrossSell = false;
    public bool EnableAutoCrossSell
    {
        get { return _EnableAutoCrossSell; }
        set { _EnableAutoCrossSell = value; }
    }

        {
            CheckoutMessagePanel.Visible = true;

        }

            if (order != null)
