The shopper should know whether an account is needed before completing the form.
Guest checkout without forced accounts
Guest checkout should be easy to find and use. Account creation should not be a required detour for someone who simply wants to buy.
Research context: Baymard · Guest checkout prominence ↗
The lab requires no login. A B2B invoice needs separate information and authorization in actual ReAI configuration.
Try the pattern
Task and expected result
- 01
Complete the lab as a guest without a password or account.
- 02
Switch to business: organization number becomes relevant while guest access remains.
- 03
Choose invoice in the lab: confirmation should say unpaid, not paid.
- 04
Complete the simulated consumer flow without business: no organization number or invoice option appears.
- 05
Enable business and leave organization number empty: the error concerns that field specifically.
How to investigate value
Measure confirmed, deduplicated outcomes per eligible checkout start. Define paid orders and accepted credit orders separately.
Watch for side effects
Payment errors, duplicate orders, incorrect totals, unclear arrival dates and discount cost. A pay click is only an attempt.
This is a proposed investigation, not a measured result. Choose one hypothesis and define the audience before testing.
