Common questions
Q: Do guest customers still need to provide an email or phone number? No. Customers do not need to provide an email or phone number to place a guest order.
Q: How will guest customers receive updates on their order? Because they are not logged in, guest customers must stay online and keep the browser tab open on their phones. If they close the tab, they may not receive live updates about their order status.
Q: Can I turn Guest Checkout off later? Yes. If you want to require all customers to create an account, go back to the Settings tab of your store, switch Enable Guest Checkout to OFF, and click Save.
