Instead of forcing customers to register, it allows them to make a purchase using only essential details. Here\u2019s how the process typically works:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Add-Items-to-Cart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Add Items to Cart<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The customer selects products and proceeds to checkout, just like they would with a registered account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Choose-Checkout-Option\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Choose Checkout Option<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At checkout, they are given two options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign in \/ Create an account (for returning or new users)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue as a guest (without signing up)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they choose guest checkout, they move directly to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Enter-Shipping-Billing-Information\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Enter Shipping &amp; Billing Information<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The customer fills in their shipping address, billing details, and contact information.
