¶ Usage
While in the Shopping Cart and signed out of any accounts, upon clicking your Cart and entering the Shopping Cart Bag Summary page, there is a prompt to continue as a guest offered as an alternative to clicking Checkout and getting prompted to create an Account as usual.
Checking out in this fashion will place the Order under the CustomerDID specified on the Freedom Setting JSCART_GUEST_CUSTOMERDID referenced in the Configuration section of this Document.
¶ Configuration

Note: This is also a Territory Based Setting and must use a Customer account for each Territory assocciated with the same Territory\country when multiple Territories\countries are in use. Further, this feature works in conjunction with "Blind Shopping" and must be in use for it to trigger guest checkout feature.
