- At Creative Yadley we believe that checkout processes must be as easy and as short as possible.
- That is why we believe that it is probably a good idea to allow customers to be able to checkout without going through the tedious task of opening an account (Guest Checkout).
- Allowing guest checkout is proven to be great for sales conversions.
- But there is a disadvantage of doing this: Once you don’t create accounts for your users, you’ll lose a lot of data and potential customer analysis opportunities.
- It is really up to you and how you envision your business model. If you really want guest checkout, here is how you can enable it:
Let`s Dive In
- Log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Checkout.
- You’ll see a box with the label ‘Enable Guest Checkout’.
- Tick this box and customers will be able to purchase without logging in or creating a user account.
You Can Also Take It A Step Further
- If you want, you can take this up a notch.
- You can prevent customers from creating user accounts at all.
- To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts.
- Untick the boxes to enable registration on the Checkout and My Account pages.
- This will prevent customers from registering for your site at all, so you don’t need to provide a login page.
