Allowing users to purchase without registering

I have been using the free version of HikaShop (which I really like) and I was poking around to try to find if there was an option to turn off registration. I found in Configuration > Checkout page there's a radio button for Login (No or Yes) and a section for Registration, which says it requires a commercial version of HikaShop in order to use.

I'm very happy to purchase a copy of HikaShop, but I wanted to make sure this option did what I think it does. Is it possible to allow users to purchase items without registering an account, waiting for the confirmation e-mail, and then logging in? Can they just add an item to their cart, input their address and credit card information, then submit?

Thanks!

Yes, that's the goal of that option. If you set it to "no registration" there won't be any confirmation email and the users will just have to enter their email and address (if you want) and credit card.

And to get access to this option, I only need to buy the Essential license?

I also want users to be able to purchase products without registering or logging in. Am I understanding this thread correctly? - do I need to buy a license in order to remove the login and registration requirement???

Under "checkout", I set "login" to "no" but when someone adds a product to their cart, they are immediately prompted to register.

Are there instructions somewhere explaining how to allow users to checkout without registering?

Thanks for your help!

You you don't want your users to enter any information in the checkout, you can remove the view "login" from the checkout workflow option of the configuration.

But if you still want to get their address without creating a joomla user account, instead of that, you will have to set the "registration" option of that tab to "no registration", which indeed requires a license.
