Guest checkout


It is interesting to have all your customers register on your shop but some might be a little reluctant to register on a new web. For this reason you may want to give to your customer another way to buy from your shop without any required registration.

To activate this option, you will need to hover on Preferences and click on General. Select Yes for the Enable guest checkout option and click on Save. Now it is not mandatory to be a registered member to buy from your store. Remember do everything keeping your customers in mind, because without them your store has no value.
