Requesting Log-in before browsing

[Guest]

Currently, customer is asked to login when they shop and pay.

 

Can I set for logging -in before browsing?

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

 

I don't have a solution to your problem, however I would be cautious about such an approach, unless you have a very niche product.

 

The reason I make this comment, is because a lot of customers won't bother, and move on. The least amount of 'formalities' the better. This applies to the checkout process as well, hence the popularity of 'checkout without an account' contrib.

I would like to know why as well, if i come across that, i just move on, and we dont want you to lose customers. Unless its a adult site then you can add on the main page enter over 18 with a button.

That way your not in any trouble if the customer is under age, cause they lied and entered your site.

Interesting idea tho.

Thanks for the info, I have D/L it and will implement it in the site, what i am mainly after however is when some one types in the sites adress, they come to a page asking if they are over the age of 18, if they choose yes they are then taken to the shop if they choose no they are taken to playschool or sesame street or the wiggles :)

Thanks
