Is there a way to offer guest checkout (without Hika Shop Registration), but at the end of the transaction offer the option to create an account, pre-filling information entered for the order to create an account for streamlined future checkouts?

Hi,

No, but you can now use the "switcher" mode of the registration since 2.2.2 so that the user can directly choose if he wants to login, register or checkout as guest.

Any chance this feature will be available in the future? It would be nice to have.

Why not. But we don't have such plans for the near future as we are working on other things.

I just want to throw in some support for this idea. It sounds like a superfluous modification, but there are a lot of people who balk at creating a membership if you ask them to do it in advance, but if you ask with a simple checkbox once they've almost completed their order, they would say "why not? It's easy and they've already got my info..." Assign them a random password through email and immediately invite them to change it by giving them a reset link.

Making the membership decision at the end turns membership into an impulse buy instead of an upfront decision. It's just a much more attractive flow.

Don't want to necro a dead thread but are there any updates on this? This would be a really useful feature. As silly as it sounds some users are more likely to create an account if it is presented this way.

Hi,

There is not yet an option to have a button to automatically create an account after the checkout.

What about the option to login OR proceed as guest? The last thread I saw on that was about 4 years ago. Both the option to choose (guest OR login) and the option to create an account at the end are very much in demand right now. WooCommerce allows it, as does Shopify, and new clients ask for those features more than just about any other in my experience.

Hi,

HikaShop also allows for that since several years.
Set the "Display method for registration" setting to "switcher" in the HikaShop configuration and if you have the login setting above turned on and the "registration" setting below configured to display both the registration and the guest form, you'll be able to select between the three of them.
