That's no possible.
But a solution would be to use the "simplified registration" instead of the "no registration" method.
That way, you would have the same fields on the checkout, but an account would be created automatically for your users when they checkout.

Ok, thank you. I would like to request that as a feature, to require registration for some products and not others.

Also, the way a file download works right now is that the system waits for the store admin to confirm the order (which is nice because then we can make sure when get paid). But with a paypal integration, I'm wondering if there is a possibility to automatically confirm an order after the system knows that it was paid through paypal.

Hi,

Yes, it's already in the todo list.

Regarding paypal, the order will be confirmed automatically after the payment as paypal sends a notification.
If that doesn't work on your website, it's either that the plugin is not configured properly or because of a setting/restriction of your server:

I see the error list, but none of these are what is happening with me.

I'm receiving the notification just fine from Paypal for payment received. I just don't see where HikaShop is receiving it that notification to automatically change an order status from "created" to "confirmed."

It must be one of those. No other user of HikaShop had a that problem without being in one of these cases.

I don't really understand. My point is, I DO receive notifications from paypal that they received payment, but I don't see where HikaShop gets that information, and it didn't automatically update the status.

When a payment is made, paypal sends you an email and then it sends a notification request to HikaShop. Based on that notification, HikaShop validates the order and then sends you a confirmation email too.
If the orders are not confirmed and that you're not receiving the email from HikaShop, it means that the notification request was not received by HikaShop. But since it has been sent by PayPal (there is no reason PayPal wouldn't send it) it means that something is blocking the notification. And that's what this list of possibilities in the documentation is about.
