title: Allow unregistered customers to place orders in Microsoft Commerce Server 2002
body: <p>What is the best way of implementing a checkout process that allows customers to place orders without first requiring registration on the site, and without requiring that users create an account during the checkout process.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of perhaps creating a anonymous customer entry which all orders not associated with a registered customer get associated with. Will that work?</p>
  
  <p>How would you then recommend accessing order status?</p>
