I’m having a strange problem with my fresh magento installation. There is no option for guest checkout even though I have Disable Onepage Checkout: NO, and Allow Guest Checkout: YES.
I’ve looked at the core_config_data in the db and can’t find anything that would instigate this behavior. I have no template customizations and have disabled cache… I installed the latest magento via command line ssh and included the sample data pack. I installed another copy of magento on my local machine (without the test data) and it is working fine. Perhaps it has something to do with the sample data??
I’m at a loss here… Ideas anyone??
First of all, login to your admin panel and navigate to Stores> Settings >Configuration. Now, open the Sales section and click on the Checkout tab. Next, find the Checkout Options section in the Checkout tab. After that, select the Use System Value checkbox and choose Yes in the Allow Guest Checkout field.
To disable guest checkout, you will need to uncheck the “Enabled” checkbox. Finally, you will need to save your changes by clicking on the “Update Settings” button.
Merge Guest Order To Customer extension provide a feature to merge the guest order to already existing customer if the customer has used the same email id while placing an order as a guest. Magento has given feature to place an order as a guest for the customer even if he is registered.
I got this problem too, I could see the Guest option again when I removed the cookie named persistent_shopping_cart
For me the problem had to do with the downloadable product configuration. Check settings > catalog > downloadable product.
