Let’s explore these options in detail.
1. Optional
When you enable Optional sign-in/up at checkout, users will have a more efficient checkout procedure when they visit your Odoo 17 website.
Customers can choose to proceed as a guest, establish a new account, or sign in to their existing account when they reach the checkout page.
If a customer chooses the guest checkout option, they can continue without making an account or logging in. Customers can quickly and easily complete the purchase process by entering their shipping and payment information directly, reducing friction. Odoo 17 offers a smooth experience for users who decide to register or log in.
If they don't already have an account, they can sign in or easily establish one during checkout by providing their email address, name, and password. Businesses may accommodate a range of preferences while maximizing the overall shopping experience by giving customers the option to check out as guests or to sign in.
2. Disabled (buy as a guest)
Customers are no longer allowed to sign in or establish an account during the checkout process due to the "Disabled (Buy as Guest)" functionality in Odoo 17. Rather, clients are asked to continue straight as guests, streamlining the checkout process and lowering friction.
To implement the updated configuration, don't forget to save your modifications after choosing the "Disabled (Buy as a Guest)" option.
