shopify force account creation checkout dropoff
Forced account creation kills mobile conversion. Flip guest/optional accounts on, keep email capture at payment — then measure completion.
The actual problem
Guest checkout off forces account creation; mobile conversion usually falls hard.
Do this
- Settings → Checkout → Customer accounts.
- Set to Accounts are optional (or guest enabled).
- Keep email capture at payment, not before shipping.
- Compare checkout completion 7 days before/after.
