Hi,
To me, it looks like you're mixing two concepts:
1. Being able to purchase with a user account, or without a user account (what we call "guest checkout").
2. Being able to purchase a product which is a one-off purchase (you buy it and it gets delivered, and that's it), or being able to purchase a subscription (with a notification sent automatically every x months).
Point 1 can be configured as I explained before.
For point 2, if you use HikaSerial Subscriptions (
www.hikashop.com/component/hikashop/prod...ikasubscription.html
) then you can sell such subscription with auto notifications, but you can also sell normal one-off products.
But whether you sell subscriptions or one-off products, the customer can still go through the checkout with a user account or as a guest.
So having a guest checkout and sell a subscription is not mutually exclusive.
