Requiring Customers to Sign Up Before Making Purchases

In this article
  • Restricting purchases to signed in customers
  • FAQs
Important:
This article is relevant for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, and Wix Restaurants Orders.
You can limit guest checkout on your site so that visitors can browse what you offer, but need to become site members before they can access the cart page to begin the checkout process. 
By requiring customers to sign up, you save their information. This makes it possible for customers to track their orders on your site and make future purchases without re-entering information.
