Was this information Helpful?

Hello,
A couple questions here:

1) Is it absolutely necessary to have a new user account created on checkout? We'd like people to be able to anonymously purchase from our site without having to create an account? What's the purpose of creating an account for them? Is it for order tracking or something like that?
2) The formatting for text given upon creation of a new user account on checkout appears to be controlled by the variable 'uc_msg_order_new_user_format' which also appears to not be set any where. Am I missing something here?

Well geez - the solution to THAT was embarrassingly simple.

Re: New user on checkout

Regarding your questions...

1) It's not necessary, but it is done for order tracking purposes as you guessed. You can turn off notification of the new accounts altogether and no one will ever know you created an account associated with their order.

2) That should be set using the filter form that gets added to the checkout messages form in uc_cart.module. Just do a search through the module for that string and you should find it.

EDIT (saw your second post): Laughing out loud
