Guest Checkout and Allowed Purchasers

Guest Checkout and Allowed Purchasers

Introduction
Guest (or Anonymous) Checkout allows your customers to purchase products and register for events without creating an account. The Allowed Purchaser settings offer product-by-product control for you to determine if Guest checkout is available or if an Account is required.

Configurations

There is a configuration that allows you to set the default value of the Allowed Purchaser of all newly created products. To change this:
Navigate to Settings > Setup > Configuration
Search for "Default new product allowed purchaser value"

  • Require Account
  • Account or Guest
  • Default Guest

Require Account

When Allowed Purchaser on a product is set to Require Account an account is required to purchase the product so the customer is directed to log into an existing account or to create a new account before moving forward.
