To turn on Guest Checkout, enable the setting below from Configuration > Settings, search for the following setting ordersettings.anonymouscheckoutallowed.
Setting | Value | Store |
ordersettings.anonymouscheckoutallowed | True - Enables guest checkout False - Disables guest checkout | This can be configured at the store level. If you have multiple stores, input the store this applies to. Otherwise, leave blank. |
| Note |
|---|
IMPORTANT: If you have a multi-store environment and the rules for guest checkout are different across stores, ensure this setting is defined independently for each store. Add the setting more than once and assign the setting uniquely per store. |
It’s also possible to configure whether the guest checkout register form shows first, or the traditional login form is shown first when guest checkout is enabled for a store, using a setting. Administrators can choose to either show the guest checkout form first, or the traditional login first. This allows the admin to emphasize guest checkout over traditional login (if set to true), or to show traditional login first (if set to false). Configuration > Settings, search for the following setting: checkout.guestcheckout.preferguest
Setting | Value | Store |
checkout.guestcheckout.preferguest | True - Prefer guest checkout False - Prefer traditional login | This can be configured at the store level. If you have multiple stores, input the store this applies to. Otherwise, leave blank. |
| Note |
|---|
IMPORTANT: If you are using Identity for authentication, this setting to prefer guest checkout must be set to True. If you use standard login, it can be set either way. |
Language Strings
To update language strings on the Guest Checkout page, configure the following language strings from Configuration > Languages > English > String Resources , search for the following strings and add them if they don’t exist.
