Moving on to store owner\u2019s advantages,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leverage the maximum customer database for the marketing purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop a loyal customer relationship which is definitely going to affect the sales positively!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earn a review for the products that can be submitted by registered customers in the Magento 2 store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In spite of these benefits, critics argue the potential pitfall, that the registration step in E-commerce results in losing the sales. It supersedes all the above advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the catch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Requiring registration need not hurt the sales. It depends on how the registration is implemented. And that\u2019s the benefit of Meetanshi\u2019s&nbsp;<em><strong>Magento 2 Guest to Customer<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;extension for Magento 2 store owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extension allows admin to automatically convert guest customers to registered customers after the checkout step is completed. Hence, a store owner can use a large customer database to enjoy its benefits and customers can altogether skip the tedious registration process and still enjoy the upgraded customer group benefits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<em>Guest to Customer for Magento 2<\/em>&nbsp;is a feature-pack extension, guaranteed to improve the on-site experience and conversion rate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure Magento 2 Guest to Customer Extension by Meetanshi:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enable the extension from the backend to get started. Enable the option to auto convert the guests to customers. Select the customer group to be assigned for the auto-converted customers from the dropdown. Moreover, the Email ID used for the checkout can be used to assign the orders from the backend settings as shown here:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1_configuration_1_47-700x219.png\" alt=\"Magento 2 Guest to Customer - Meetanshi Extension Explained 1\" class=\"wp-image-52991\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the help of the extension, the admin can notify the customers about the auto-converted customer group!
