Less friction on check out is proven to increase sales, particularly of digital download items. But I also need to be able to offer registered user services as well.

Allowing for this without a profound change in HikaShop would be a problem security-wise on your website as anyone with the email address of a registered user would be to access the data of the user. However, I've taken a fresh look into it following your message, and I think I have a good lead to handle this with the next version of HikaShop.
