Checkout Account Selection

55 design examples manually annotated by Baymard researchers

What’s this? Here you’ll find 55 annotated “Checkout Account Selection” design examples from Baymard’s UX benchmark of 63 major e-commerce sites. (Note: this is less than 1% of the full research catalog.)

While most know having a “guest checkout” option is vital, our mobile usability testing reveals that having “guest checkout” is not enough. During testing of different mobile checkouts, 60% of users overlooked the guest checkout option solely due to the mobile design of the “Account Selection” step — causing a high degree of checkout abandonments, as users assumed no “guest checkout” option existed.
