Once you have installed the Guest Checkout extension via FTP you need to activate it.

To activate it you need to go to the normal Plugins > Installed Plugins section via your admin sidebar. There you will see the extension as a plugin listed amongst other plugins, look at the screenshot below.

Once activated, you will notice that it is listed in the Checkout > Extensions section via the admin sidebar. As seen in this image below.

 

Configuration

Note that, for the moment, the Guest Checkout extension does not activate when the product is a digital one but only when it’s a tangible one. That forces customers to register in order to track and have access to their digital products in the future.

Configuring the WordPress Shopping Cart plugin Guest Checkout extension plugin to allow customers to purchase on your website without having to register/login is quick and easy.

Simply go to Checkout > Configuration > General > User Related Settings where you will now see the “Guest Checkout” setting which you can turn “On” and save the configuration for it to take effect.
