Add to cart before login

-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5

Hi,
Is it possible for user to add product to shopping cart and not login until they decide to check out?

Thanks
Best regards

Hi,
There are some EC site that allow user to add products to cart before login, I guess the system just gives a temporary account, and when they click on the checkout button, the system then ask for user to login, and transfer all the shopping cart data into this account.
Will this be a new function for HikaShop? Because for some customer when they visit the shop, they don't have an account, and ask them to register while they choose the first product may interrupt their mood for shopping.

Just an suggestion.

Best Regards

Hi,

As Nicolas said,

That's how it works by default in HikaShop.

So, it's an existing feature.

A site visitor = "guest" can shop around and add products to the cart, then go to checkout, where he can - depending on your HikaShop edition - either log in with an existing account, or register a new account, or check out as guest (means no account will be created), and in any case the products will stay in the cart, so he can continue the checkout.

It should work not only with login or registration in checkout, but also if the guest logs in via a Joomla login page or module, or registers a new account on a separate registration page. The cart content should always be retained.

Try it out. If it doesn't work in your case, a link to your site would certainly be helpful.

Hi,
Good day.
Sorry for my misunderstanding.
But in my site, when I put the first product into the shopping cart, it will ask me for login.
Here is my url:
ccfia.org.tw/LTShop2/index.php
I guess I must have miss-setting something, please advise.
Thank you in advance.

I don't speak or read Chinese, but apparently products get added to the cart.

I looks as if you have the configuration as follows:
1. On "add to cart" the visitor is sent directly to checkout (option "After a product is added to the cart", www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...onfig.html#main_cart ). You could change that, if you want.
2. In checkout you see the cart at the bottom of the page.
3. Visitor is asked to log in, but has no option to register. Please check if registration is enabled on your site: Joomla backend -> Users -> Manage -> Options -> option "Allow User Registration".

Got it, thank you very much.
