Anonymous Checkout

Actually we don't do much upgrading as we only install the stable release, which up until 4.1.8 was 4.0.19. Now with 4.1.8 there seem to have been some issues with the upgrade from 4.1.7, and it sounds like this may be one of them. A fresh install will never be a good option for a custom store, so upgrading is definitely the way to go. Just need to be sure to fully test the store once you do upgrade to make sure there aren't any anomalies like this one

I have a customer that is on a host that the upgrades will not go through b/c of an sql timeout. They are on 4.1.2, suggestions? Or should I start my own thread. Eventually, once they start getting traffic, they are moving to a far better host.

Sorry Ashley!!!

I just verified that my store, upgraded from 4.1.3 through every revision to 4.1.8 WORKS AS EXPECTED -- I have "disable anonymous checkout" unchecked, and the "*" next to the username and password fields are NOT visible, AND when the customer proceeds through checkout, if the username and password are left empty, as expected - the transaction is just fine.

There must be something with your store -- my live store and my test stores both work as expected on 2 browsers (IE & FF) and 2 operating systems (mac/winxp-pro)

I went from 4.1.7 to 4.1.8. Mainly b/c when we opened the one w/ the problem, that was the current branch & the boss man did not want to wait for 4.1.8 to come out to get started.

I have the same issue on a fresh install. Did anyone come up with an answer?
Thank you.

Oops.. my bad... lol. I customized the form and linked to the register form, instead of the checkout link. Man I feel stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid.

The fields are always mandatory on the register page. If you fill out the form thru the checkout process it's not mandatory.

Well, I found it in Moduals you need to turn off "Fast Lane Checkout". Thats all I needed. Thanks for looking!

Yea, if you click on register, you obviously WANT to register, so the user/pass would then be required
