Allow Adding Items to Cart Without Login #122

Open tctlrd opened 7 months ago

tctlrd commented 7 months ago

There is no way to view the cart without having an account and logging in. I have never seen a retail e-commerce website that does not allow someone to add items to a cart without an account. A customer needs to be able to add items to the cart to see what the total will be with shipping and tax. This allows them to compare with other retailers without going through the trouble of making an account on every website they want to compare prices on.

Many sites allow you to even checkout and place the order without creating an account or the account is created when you make the purchase. These shopping cart workflow improvements need to be implemented for ERPNext Webshop to be a viable alternative to other e-commerce platforms...

It's really good request but the way webshop operates right now is it requires user account in order to create invoices... I think developers and community will work on this later on but for now best solution is to use social login with google or facebook, so that customers dont have to struggle with account creation.

Thank you for the feedback @GeoCommander! Also, a big thank you to the devs! I hope this helps them move webshop forward. I do not think an invoice should be needed to at least have a quote from a full cart with tax and shipping... I steer folks away from big-tech use, therefore social login is not a solution for me.

@Nihantra-Patel, do you have any thoughts on this? I think the shopify/stripe experience is what people have grown to expect. What will it take to have that with ERPNext?

Also, there is an opensource and mature python based ecommerce platform that is interesting: saleor - I am wondering if integrating ERPNext directly with Saleor in place of webshop or adopting features into webshop from Saleor are worthwhile!?

It's absolutely critical for an E-Commerce platform to allow addition of items to Cart without login ! I sincerely hope this can be given the priority it deserves

Kudos on work done so far... it looks elegant

Kind regards,
