GuideGuest vs account — claim mapBack to article
Guest checkout vs forced account. Filter the claim. Distinct from checkout-field friction and wallet decline recovery. We invent no guest-fraud chip.
| Claim | Reality | Do | Do not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kill guest checkout to cut chargebacks | Not a public constant — often kills converts first | Measure abandon and CB mix on vs off | Invent a guest-fraud rate chip |
| Forced account replaces 3DS / AVS | No. Those are auth / mismatch doors | Keep real fraud stack; treat account as convert choice | Hide guest and call signup “prevention” |
| This map is checkout field friction | Related. Field friction is which inputs. This map is guest vs forced account | N/A — open checkout-field-friction for field list | Skip measuring account force because phone is optional |
| This map is wallet decline recovery | No. That page is after a wallet fail at pay | N/A — open wallet-decline-recovery for wallet fails | Force account create as the wallet recovery path |
| Subscriptions require forced account at first pay | Vaulted credential ≠ account wall before every one-shot | Name continuity needs separately from guest one-shots | Block all guest because MIT needs a token later |
| Amazon account rules are my DTC checkout | No. Amazon’s door is different. This is your guest toggle | N/A — open amazon-a-to-z for marketplace claims | Paste Seller Central onto DTC guest checkout |
Filter the claim. Guest checkout is not a fraud toggle. Forced account is a conversion choice. We invent no guest-fraud chip.
