Was this information Helpful?

I'm in a situation where I'm selling 2 types of products:
1. A node access product (users purchase the right to view a node)
2. Donations

Obviously, for the node access product, I need to require that they create an account during checkout, otherwise we can't assign access to anything. However, I don't want to require an account in order to Donate (since this discourages donations).

First, is this already possible somehow (add on module?). I assume it's not, so how might I go about creating it? Any advice on methods or hooks I can use?

Thanks.

Re: Require account creation for some products but not others.

Account creation is automatic, and almost invisible to the anonymous user. This should not be a problem. Just make sure you have anonymous users able to buy things and off you go!

So, I alllow anonymous users on all transactions? How does the user know what their account info is so they can login next time? Do they get an account creation email even if they're an 'anonymous' user?

Yes they do. Ubercart automatically generates a password and login information for the anonymous customer.
