Guest users

Until a user logs into the Customer Center, he is registered as a guest. A guest user is usually allowed to browse the catalog, add items to shopping cart, but not submit any orders. The guest user has to self-register in the Customer Center in order to submit an order.

In the B2B setup, guest users are listed in the Users:Single Users B2B area. In the B2C setup, guest users are listed in the Users:Single Users B2C.

Though the guest user is listed in the single users area, it allows several types of advanced configuration such as customizable user roles, favorite items and favorite categories that are normally available only for customer users. Furthermore, in the B2B setup, the favorite items and categories are inherited from the guest user by all new single users.

To edit the guest user, in the single users area search for the user called "Guest". The guest user settings are the same as those for customer users. For details about the available options, see Customer users .

All guest users are assigned the role that has the "Guest User" role type. In the default Infor e-Commerce B2B configuration, guest users are assigned the "Guest" role. In the default Infor e-Commerce B2C configuration, guest users are assigned the "GuestB2C" role. See Roles, segments, and feature elements for details about roles and how to use them.

In the B2C setup, for a guest user, the Customer Center displays all features available in the standard configuration. However, to use some of these features like Add to Wishlist, Add to Favorites, Rate this Item and so on, guest users have to register with the site.
