Guest Checkout

Guest checkout provides a way for users to place orders with partners through Google, regardless if they are logged into a Google account.

Note: Guest checkout isn't enabled by default and is available by request in the United States, Canada and Australia. To enable this feature for your Ordering End-to-End integration, submit a request by following steps outlined under technical support.

Caution: You should reassess your fraud monitoring systems to ensure you have proper protections in place for receiving orders submitted by guest users. If needed, you can sign up to receive additional user client information to better inform your risk engine.

To determine if the user's order is submitted as a guest or logged into their Google account, check the emailVerified field within the finalOrder.cart.extension.contact in the SubmitOrderRequestMessage. Orders by users logged into their Google account would have the emailVerified set to true while orders by guest users wouldn't have emailVerified at all.

Note: Guest checkout may not function as intended if the user is not location in the same geographical area as the restaurant. To mitigate this, it is recommended to use a VPN or set location to the same country as the restaurant.
