2. (Optional) Configure Guest Checkout

Guest Checkout is enabled with Identity 2.4 for resorts using RTP|One. If enabled at the store level in Aspenware Commerce, guests selecting “guest checkout” are routed to a simple registration form. Once registered, these customers are created in RTP|One with a specific IPTypeCode (configurable) including email profile, but no authentication profile. Guests and any additional members created and assigned during workflow also show in RTP|One with this specific IPTypeCode. If a guest decides to return to the store and checkout as a guest again another profile will be created in accordance with the guest’s selection. If birthdate or phone are collected as part of guest transaction these will also be added to the customer record in RTP|One.

See Aspenware Commerce Guest Checkout configuration guide for details on enabling guest checkout in Commerce.
