Guest checkout works, but user registration via menu item only creates guest acc

-- HikaShop version -- : 5.1.6
-- Joomla version -- : 5.2.2

Hello,

We have the following needs on our Joomla + HikaShop setup:

1. Allow guest checkout during the order process

2. Allow full user registration (both Joomla user account and HikaShop address) via a menu item of type HikaShop -> Registration form

Here’s how we’ve configured things:

For point 1 (guest checkout):
We’ve enabled the guest option via:
HikaShop > Configuration > Checkout > Login & Registration
This is working as expected.

For point 2 (full registration via menu):
We created a Joomla menu item of type HikaShop -> Registration form

However, when we try to register a new user via the menu item (point 2), it only creates a HikaShop guest account, and does not create a Joomla user.

How can we configure it so that this registration form creates a proper Joomla user account along with their first HikaShop address, as expected?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

What you want to do is to set the "Display method for registration" setting to "Selector":
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5....html#checkout_login
That way, in the "Registration" setting, you'll be able to select both the "Guest" mode AND a registration mode.
On your checkout, the users will be able to select if they want to checkout as a guest or register.
And the registration form page of HikaShop will work as a normal registration form.
