Checkout & payments
Guest checkout without forcing an account
Guest checkout lets a first-time shopper buy without registering, with an optional OTP step to verify the order, while registration gating and customer approval remain available for shops that need to control who can order at all.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is guest checkout secure without a password?
A shop can require an OTP on guest orders, which confirms the phone or e-mail is real without forcing the shopper to set a password.
Can I turn guest checkout off for a B2B store?
Yes, registration gating and customer approval let a shop require an approved account before anyone can place an order at all.
Does a guest order create a customer profile automatically?
A guest order is tracked against the contact details supplied at checkout; whether that becomes a full account depends on the shop’s registration settings.
Why offer guest checkout instead of just requiring an account?
A mandatory account step is one of the most common places a first-time shopper drops out of checkout — guest checkout removes that friction while OTP still confirms the order belongs to a real contact.
