That way, the customers won't have to validate their email address and they will be able to finish their checkout after the registration step. That should already help a lot. - You can also completely remove the login and address views from your "checkout workflow" in the HikaShop configuration and that way you'll have a checkout without any registration, but you won't get any email address or address from your customers so I don't recommend it. - You can set the "registration" setting of the HikaShop configuration to "guest" so that there is no password/username asked during the checkout but you still get the email and address of the users, but that option is only available in the Essential and Business editions of HikaShop. Note that if you purchase the Essential edition today, you can upgrade to the Business edition later on this page: [ www.hikashop.com/extensions/upgrade-my-version.html](https://www.hikashop.com/extensions/upgrade-my-version.html) The amount asked for the upgrade correspond to the difference of price between the two, so it won't cost you anything more in the end if you do that.
