Account creation options

[WylieE]

We currently require account creation during checkout. Our management is concerned this is interfering with our potential sales. (ie. customers do not wish to create an account.)

AnonymousCheckout can be enabled. That is no big deal. However, is it possible to:

a.) Allow the customer the option of creating an account *or* completing anonymous checkout.
b.) Move account creation to the receipt page and make account creation optional?

Thanks!

a.) Allow the customer the option of creating an account *or* completing anonymous checkout.

When anonymous checkout is enabled system already reminds customer that he can create account during checkout or can checkout anonymously.

b.) Move account creation to the receipt page and make account creation optional?

You can customize receipt page for registration by putting some similar code as in OnePageCheckout or you can edit scriptlet of receipt page and using RegisterDialog control over there.

Thanks Mazar. It has been a while since we looked at anonymous checkout.

We tried to enable anonymous checkout in OnePageCheckout and cannot get it to function. We've even gone so far as to copy/paste the code we found in other emails from you. Sure looks like it ought to work! Is that the only file that needs to be modified?

We're still on build 10863, BTW.
