How to Prohibit Creation of New Account for Anonymous Users at Checkout?

Is there a configuration setting that allows me to tell Ubercart not to create an account for an anonymous user at checkout? If not, is there some other way to accomplish this? I realize I am able to suppress email notification, but I don't want the account created or the user to be provided information that an account exists.

Thanks,
Marc

have u tried store admin/config/checkout settings/ general checkout settings
and uncheck "Enable anonymous checkout (users can checkout without logging in)."

I have enabled anonymous checkout so that anonymous users can make purchases. I need this to be the case. I just don't want accounts to be created for them as a result of checking out. Any suggestions?

This isn't possible right now. Can you elaborate on why you'd want to do this?

I have an urgent need to provide ecommerce functionality on a site that is still under construction. I want anonymous users to be able to make purchases but I do not want them to visit or exercise the rest of the site as though it were ready for prime time. I also do not want the headache of supporting or a large user base at this phase of deployment.

Does that answer your question?

Hmmm, this sounds like my request (http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/3728/way_disable_drupal_user_accou...).

Sort of... at this time, you can just have it set all users to blocked and remove any mention of the user account in the completion pages and e-mails. The customer would be none-the-wiser that an account was created for them, and they'd never be able to login to the site.

Bingo! That should do the trick. Thanks!
