Guest Checkout¶
Guest checkout allows customers to place orders without creating an account.
Why guest checkout matters¶
Guest checkout:
- reduces checkout friction
- increases conversion rates
- helps first-time customers complete purchases quickly
How guest checkout works¶
- customer enters shipping and contact details
- order is placed without account creation
- order confirmation is sent via email or SMS
After checkout, customers may be invited to:
- create an account
- save their details for future orders
Considerations¶
- guest users cannot access order history via dashboard
- order updates rely on email or phone communication
Best practices¶
- Always offer guest checkout
- Ask for only essential information
- Encourage account creation after purchase
