Hello,

Greetings of the day!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Yes, it is possible to require users to log in before making a purchase. This can be achieved by enabling the option that restricts guest checkout, ensuring that only registered and logged-in users are able to place orders.

To enable this feature, please follow these steps:

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings.
2. Click on the Accounts & Privacy tab.
3. Under the “Guest checkout” section, uncheck the option that says “Allow customers to place orders without an account.”
4. Optionally, you can also enable “Allow customers to create an account during checkout” to make the process easier for new users.

Once this is configured, customers will be required to log in or create an account before completing their purchase.

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to let us know. We are always here to help.

Best Regards,

Greetings, Intermarket Guest Amenities,

We would like to inform you that Meta has recently updated its operational principles and discontinued the old method of connecting to Instagram. You can find more details about these changes at the following links:
– Instagram Basic Display API Documentation
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/
– Meta’s Blog Post on Instagram Basic Display API Update
https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/09/04/update-on-instagram-basic-display-api/)

As a result of these changes, we have updated the instructions for connecting to Instagram. We kindly ask you to review the revised guide carefully:
– Updated Instagram API Token Instructions
https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/xstore-features/instagram-api-token/

Please note that, in accordance with Meta’s policies, your Instagram and Facebook accounts must now be set to business accounts. This requirement is mandated by Meta’s policies and is beyond our control.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Hello, Intermarket Guest Amenities,

Hello, Intermarket Guest Amenities,

We have reviewed the issue, and it appears that the error message you are encountering, “Error: Unsupported request – method type: GET,” may be caused by a different problem.

The error could be due to missing permissions on your Instagram account or a mismatch between the Source ID and the authenticated source for the Access Token. Additionally, changes to settings on Instagram or Facebook could also be contributing factors. Below are some potential causes:

– Changes to the admin users of the associated Facebook page
– Password changes for the Instagram or Facebook account
– Modifications to privacy settings on either Instagram or Facebook
– Adjustments to app permissions for Instagram or Facebook

Another possible reason for this issue could be WordPress itself blocking GET requests. To investigate this further, we would require your FTP access details.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Best regards,
8Theme’s Team

Dear @Intermarket Guest Amenities,

We hope this message finds you well. We would like to suggest a couple of options to improve the design of the ‘My Account’ page on your website.

1. You may utilize the default shortcode provided by WooCommerce, which can be found here: https://prnt.sc/pxoMeWktCc9c. This will ensure that the design aligns with standard WooCommerce layouts.

2. Alternatively, if you prefer to continue using the Elementor account widget, we recommend adding the following custom CSS to your ‘My Account’ page to enhance the styling:

body .e-my-account-tabs-horizontal .e-my-account-tab .woocommerce .woocommerce-MyAccount-content {
    width: 75%;
    padding-top: 0;
}

body .e-my-account-tabs-horizontal .e-my-account-tab .woocommerce .woocommerce-MyAccount-content > div {
    padding-top: 0;
}

Please feel free to implement whichever option best suits your needs. Should you require any further assistance or have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello, Yuvi,

We appreciate your prompt response.

We are always pleased to assist our customers, but it is important to understand that our assistance is limited to issues directly related to our area of expertise. It is crucial to identify which issues are not related to our theme so that you can promptly find high-quality, specialized support elsewhere.
Although it is not our specialty, we have the following recommendations for you. We hope you find them useful:

1. We suggest installing an additional plugin on your site to check whether it is bots or real people visiting. The system is not complicated – it checks whether there have been any cursor or keyboard movements in the last period, indicating a real person. We cannot recommend a specific one, you will need to search for it (there are definitely free ones). Consider the following – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/

You can also use Google Captcha from the following:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/recaptcha-woo/
https://woocommerce.com/products/google-recaptcha-for-woocommerce/?gclid=CjwKCAjwp8OpBhAFEiwAG7NaEshfFMvoztzidjmTi4aEuaiCpRLsHXtudY5toke6n8x7AuWXLEJReBoCqOoQAvD_BwE
https://woocommerce.com/products/recaptcha-for-woocommerce/

2. Given that you are using Hostinger, you should inquire about the bot protection capabilities they provide and how effective this protection is.

3. To ensure higher quality purchases (from verified customers), you can configure the following in WooCommerce:
3.1/ In the WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Account & Privacy.
3.2/ Untick the ‘Enable guest checkout’ boxes (https://prnt.sc/5_pmSYUK1Bhy).
This will force users to create an account when they buy from your WooCommerce store.

4. If you plan to use a CDN, consider the following:

Hello, @TFS,

According to me:

Standard checkout: (Pros)

Fewer clicks.
Appears to be easier.
Less Time.

One with the steps: (Pros)

Guest Checkout. (Not all customers have time or want to create a customer account in order to check out. )
Layout.
More details.

So now you have the comparison and I hope it will help you in making a decision that which layout you have to use on your site 🙂

Regards 8Themes Team.

Hello,

If you want just to add the message before the checkout form you can go to Pages > edit Checkout page and add the content before the checkout shortcode. Some options for the checkout page like returning customer, guest checkout you can enable in WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy. If you want to on/off some fields you can use Checkout manager plugin to do this. If you need anything extra then either look for third-party plugin or order additional customization here.
