Guest Checkout Flow on the BLAZE ECOM Store
Upon checkout, the customer must input their Contact Information before they're able to continue to the payment screen.
With the above recommended settings applied, customers will be able to checkout without having to save their contact information or creating an account.
Customers may still create an account from the checkout screen by checking the box for "Save checkout information". Doing so will open a new window which will prompt the customer to sign up with the necessary details to create their account.
Once the customer has input their contact information, they will click Continue to payment
On the payment screen, the customer will confirm their contact information and select the desired method of payment.
The customer will then click Place Order.
After a few moments, the order will be placed on the BLAZE ECOM store and the customer will receive a confirmation of the order being placed, the order number and status.
Customer Profiles on Greenline and BLAZE ECOM
Once orders have been successfully submitted, a customer profile will be created on BLAZE ECOM Mission Control under the Customers tab, which includes the contact information that was input during checkout.
A customer profile will also be created on the Greenline dashboard with the same information used during checkout.
Return customers may continue to use Guest Checkout as long as they provide the same email upon placing their next order. Orders will be logged on the customer profile that matches the provided email.
