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 these settings are defined independently for each store. Add the settings 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
