Place order - no account

Wishing for a way that customers could place an order without registering an email account. I think most people freak out with the idea of submitting an account because they don’t want to be sent spam.



No matter how many times you say, “It’s cool. I won’t send anything to you”, there is still this level of skepticism. :sad:



Just wish you could put the item in your cart and simply check out. Email address would still be needed for confirmations but other than that… it would be a nice addition. :wink:

Allow customers the option of sending to spam@mydomain.com and let them know by doing so they will be uneligible to track their order.

Thanks a good idea for now.



Does anybody know if CS Cart is trying to make a version where no account needs to be set up before placing an order? I know BVCommerce is working on this.

From memory this is still requires and email address to notify customers.

Maybe making different profile fields for all but e-mail address being the way to go?

I don’t think I’ve ever had a customer not want to give their real e-mail address unless they were a competitor doing a price check. Tell them that you need their e-mail so they can receive a tracking number when their order ships. That’s almost a guarantee of hearing “Oh, its…” since everyone loves tracking numbers.
