Do I have to require accounts for customers?

[amyoliver85]

I've been reading around on the forums and it seems that if I am going to use Web Site Payments Pro, then I will have to require my customers to create an account.

Am I going to HAVE to do that???

Or will I be able to make it so that they use the Zen Cart with WPP and not have to make an account?

Thanks!

Zen Cart v1.3.x requires your customers to supply their name/address/email in order to make a purchase. This is all the same information you require as a merchant in order to submit the payment request to the credit card company for approval and fraud screening.
You kinda also need that information in order to ship your products to them, right?

They are also asked to supply a password so they can check on the status of their order and/or review their order history.

You can optionally also ask them to supply company/birthday/gender/telephone details if you wish.
