    How tough would it be to get someone's credit card FIRST instead of after the account has been created?

    Technically, this would be setting all accounts to a temp guest account dynamically i.e. guest000001 as hidden variables; then get the user's credit card, and upon checkout, essentially "rename" their account.

    A single-page checkout will drive more sales I believe... any code suggestions? Anyone else interested in this feature?

    Thanks!

    Nexternal shopping cart has the notion of a single page checkout with account creation. They can actually do it via single link:

    Not sure if/how this helps conversion.. but interesting notion..
