Check 18 / 18 LOW impact In the full checklist

Guest checkout default — account optional post-purchase

What this check is

Forcing account creation before payment is one of the most reliable ways to lose a sale. Guest checkout as the default, with account creation offered after the order, keeps both the sale and the option.

How to implement it

Make guest checkout the default path, remove the mandatory password field, and offer a one-tap account creation on the confirmation screen using the details already captured. Keep the order visible in the guest’s confirmation email.

How to verify it

Complete a test order without creating an account, then confirm the confirmation email includes a working link to the order and to create the account afterwards.
