How can I remove the "log in"option in oscommerce v2.2 RC2

[cutelaugh]

Hey Guys, I have oscommerce v2.2 RC2 and am trying to remove the option "account log in" > Apparently not many customers would like to creat an account its a hassel for lots of customers and henceforth loosing the business. I remember in the older version it was very simple to have this option completely removed or have it as optional rather than obligatory. Can pse anyone help me.

 

Thank u so very much.

HI Tina,

 

 

I don't think you can remove it completely as it is required to process your order through a number of payment processing companies. However, you can install PWA (Purchase without account) which only asks for pertinent shipping information.
