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.

checkout.guestcheckout.preferguest

True - Prefer guest checkout

False - Prefer traditional login

Note

IMPORTANT: “True” is required for Resorts utilizing Identity.

This can be configured at the store level.  If you have multiple stores, input the store this applies to.  Otherwise, leave blank.

ordersettings.anonymouscheckoutbyproduct

True = Enables guest checkout for the product

False = Disables guest checkout for the product

This is the setting for configuring guest checkout at the product level. Note that guest checkout must also be enabled at the store level for this to work.

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. See full list of language strings for guest checkout in the Language Strings Library

...

There are two methods for configuring this setting:

METHOD 1:

  • Go to Configuration > Settings > Order settings > Expand the Checkout section.

  • Check Anonymous checkout allowed.

  • Click Save. (Note that you will need to toggle from “Basic” to “Advanced” on the Order Settings screen.

METHOD 2:

  • Go to Configuration > Settings > All settings (advanced)

  • Search for ordersettings.anonymouscheckoutallowed

  • Click Edit.

  • Change Value to True to enable guest checkout, False to disable guest checkout.

  • Click Update.

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 possible to configure whether the guest checkout register form or the traditional login form is shown first when guest checkout is enabled for a store. 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). 

  • Go to Configuration > Settings > All settings (advanced)

  • Search for checkout.guestcheckout.preferguest

  • Click Edit.

  • Change Value to True to display guest checkout first, False to display traditional login screen (see examples in the table below.) For resorts using Identity, this value MUST be set to True.

  • Click Update.

This feature works by enabling three settings. Two are at the global level and one is at the product level. After two additional settings (after enabling Anonymous Guest Checkout (see above), complete the following)).

Enable Selective Guest Checkout at the Order Level

This enables selective guest checkout at the order level. There are two methods for this:

METHOD 1:

  • Go to Configuration > Settings > Order Settings

  • Scroll down to the Additional Order Settings section

  • Check “Selective Guest Checkout”

  • Scroll to the top of the Order Settings page and click Save (This will enable selective guest checkout which makes guest checkout only available for carts that contain selective guest checkout-eligible products.)

METHOD 2:

  • Go to Configuration > Settings > All settings (advanced).

  • Search for ordersettings.anonymouscheckoutbyproduct.

  • Click Edit.

  • Change Value to True to enable selective guest checkout, False to disable selective guest checkout.

  • Click Update.

Enable Selective Guest Checkout at the Product Level

  • Then, go to Catalog > Products and click Edit on the desired product.

  • Scroll to and expand the Additional Product Settings drop-down.

  • Check Selective Guest Checkout.

  • Scroll to the top of the page and click Save.

Info

NOTE: This product when purchased on its own or purchased with other Guest Checkout Products will now direct non-logged-in customers through the Guest Checkout Flow.

...

  • This setting will turn on the option to save a phone number during checkout’s payment screen. This is beneficial as guest checkout customers are otherwise not prompted to enter a phone number.

  • Go to Admin > Configuration > Payment methods > select your active payment method > Configure > select the checkbox for Requires Phone Number

  • Click Save.
