PS 8.2 - Only Allow Guest Checkout


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Just a note (ok rant), prestashop implementation of guest checkout is WEAK.  Returning customers who previously checked out as guest can NOT checkout as a guest again, leading to confusion and a lot of visitor friction.  Today many 'modern' websites do not even collect password at checkout...that is the trend.

I have checkout module I use on client shops, because the out of box checkout is better than anything on addon's, they have not been updated to reflect moder checkout.

the real purpose besides 'above the fold' checkout is  that the module also allows 'unlimited' guest checkout with  same email.  doh!

I'm considering to cut out just the allow guests checkout logic and make it a standalone feature.

Thanks for the "food for thought." I'll keep the guest checkout and account creation and return to ask about the topic. Best!

your welcome, I love freedom of Speech, I am NOT off topic, now you are aware of what you did not know...any advice I give is free and meant to help, I don't come here to solict work or sell  modules... PrestaShop will not follow current trends...from modules to themes....have fun  with terms of service, newsleeter turning all that crap off

to overcome issue  with guest checkout email and email exists, this module allows via module configuration to allow guest checkout even if email exists.

You mentioned this module before and maybe for some bigger shops it will be ok,  i see you are quite active here with help and promoting your products, respect for that, but in some situations it's too expensive (my friends situation, his profit from online shop will not cover the cost of the module). All the best to you and lets hope the future PS will have fully functional guest accounts.

yes I understand, US prices can be shocking for many.  If it  is a viable shop and I can help, message me with email address as I often do pro bono work.  I don't post my modules really to sell them but to show my idea's, things i have made that I think are cool.   I sell a few modules but the main part of what I do is provide consluting, improve visitor experience for customers, i.e. service.  

did you try as suggested above and quoted below by @manina67  I have not tried it myself but I will hopefully get to that if you don't looool.

Yes it is possible in PS 8.2, just disable account creation in the client settings. That's what I did and it works very well.
