I've set up a shop and learnt the hard way that a user MUST be logged in in order to finish an order. I've accepted that and now I want the process to be alittle smoother. Currently I have:

Shop items
Go to basket
Checkout
--- Login
Paypal
Done

The login part is one of two: either the user exists and logs in, no problem. If the user needs to register, we get this:

Shop items
Go to basket
Checkout
Register new account
Receive email
Activate account
Go to basket
Checkout
Paypal
Done

Which, honestly, is way too complicated to complete a simple order. Can I somehow cut down on the number of steps in the user registration? I would like it to go like this:

Shop items
Go to basket
Checkout
Register new account
Paypal
Done

You could use regular eZ user class, modified of course to your needs, and disable user registration confirmation then you will make it a little simple.

in shopaccount.ini.append.php

[AccountSettings]
Handler=ezdefault

in site.ini.append.php

[UserSettings]
VerifyUserEmail=disabled

But what should those .ini settings be if you do want your users to recieve an email confirmation, but do not want them to activate their accounts by following a link from the email?

Is this even possible? Or do users always need to activate before they can use their account (after signing up?)
