Allowing Customers to check out without registering
Is there a thread on this already? I'd like to be able to allow people to check out without having to make an account

Make sure you have 'disable anonymous checkout' UN-CHECKED in General Settings.

I have this "unchecked" on both our sites, and yet when I go on to buy a customer at the point I click on check out I get asked to either sign in or register. I had just had a brilliant shopping experience on another site, I clicked on check out, I clicked on pay by paypal, I entered my paypal account details and it automatically pulled up my details from paypal and I hit confirm. 4 clicks. So easy! On our sites I would have to register first in order to check out which means an extra 20 plus fields to load - is it possible to replicate this kind of simplicity with x-cart?

Well, if you used Paypal as a payment method then yes, you could probably do the same thing. Of course your customer would need to have a Paypal account or they would have to "register" anyway. Also, Paypal has about the highest merchant account fees, and not being a bank they don't have to play by the same rules that banks do. |

i did this which is fine, but then at checkout i have: login or register or paypal payment options. what i want is to just checkout and do payment without having to register or login and just pay with a credit card or bank transfer (not paypal), is this possible? :? |
Re: Allowing Customers to check out without registering
Same problem here...
I have "disable anonymous checkout" UNchecked and customers are still forced to enter username/password. Customers are calling me and complaining about it. Any ideas? |
Re: Allowing Customers to check out without registering
Are you sure they are mandatory? These fields show no matter what but if "disable anonymous checkout" is unchecked they are not mandatory, customers can omit them. You can put a note or something just above these fields that registration is optional.

Re: Allowing Customers to check out without registering
I've told customers to skip them, and it doesn't work.
Just today, someone called me and said they didn't want to create a username and password, and weren't able to skip the username/password fields when entering shipping/billing info. X-cart popped up with a message saying that their password must be 7 alphanumeric characters, and they hadn't even entered one. At first I attributed this to customer error, but it happens often enough - and even to me - that I can't ignore it. I even thought, oh this person forgot they'd already created a username and X-cart recognizes other parts of their info. I don't know. I'm baffled. I checked again, and the box is UNchecked in my General settings. |
Re: Allowing Customers to check out without registering
Yes they are optional in your cart. A bug in 4.3.0? You may consider upgrade to 4.3.1, it may fix it. Also just so you know - there is an image on the siet called with http that pops up security warning under https
