In the bottom of the checkout, there’s a summary button which can be clicked to open.

By default customers can checkout as guest or as registered customer by logging in. In case a customer checks out as guest, a customer account can automatically be created to facilitate future login request. It is important that this is clearly mentioned in the privacy policy as it’s required to facilitate quote edit, order handling, et cetera. The email address is the unique identifier. In case a guest checkout is done on an email address which already has an account, the quote or order is merged into the account. Summarized:
Guests can checkout and automatically get a customer account with login option
Quotes and orders are merged into an existing account if the email address already has a customer account
The checkout confirmation page is available in three different views.
Quote; regular request
Quote: company action period request
Order
The difference between a quote or an order is cause by usage of payment method. Methods marked with “Pay Layer” result in a quote and any other payment method results in an order. A quote has a specific page that is shown in case a “company action period” is active. This allows for different content to be shown. Content is maintained via Wordpress Blocks A confirmation page consist of:
The quote- or ordernumber
Content title and bullets
An image
When creating an order or quote fails, for instance when a payment provider issue occurs, a failed page is shown. Content for this can be maintained in a Wordpress block. In case a quote or order has failed, the exact cart is recreated so a user can continue and try again with for instance a different payment method.
