BeanStream payment module - checkout without logging into zencart

[tomer_berliner]

Hi,

We have zen cart configured with Paypal payment module, now adding BeanStream module. With Paypal, anonymous checkout can be performed via a link to ipn_main_handler.php?type=ec. How can this functionality be duplicated using BeanStream module ?

Thanks,
Tomer B.

Zen Cart v1.x doesn't offer built-in anonymous checkout. In fact, the PayPal Express Checkout isn't actually anonymous either: customer accounts are still created.
There is no functional offering to make Beanstream do any anonymous checkout.
The closest you could get to that would be to try one of the various addons for "Checkout without account" which are floating around the forum and have been met with varying degrees of success for some merchants.

We have no problem with customers having zencart accounts, we create those dynamically anyway. The functionality we are looking for it to allow a buyer to checkout without logging in to their account. The checkout with paypal link is directly on the shopping cart page so buyer can pay at any time. We are looking to provide this functionality with Beanstream.

Thanks,
Tomer

Beanstream doesn't offer that.
As I said, you can try one of the various addons that attempts to offer anonymous checkout as you call it.
