Do you have a setting which means users have to be registered to checkout? Like a ‘checkout as guest’ option?

With ‘checkout as guest’ set to No, most shopping systems will force users to register an account before they can checkout. It’s personal preference, but if you want customers to freely purchase without registering, set to yes and test it in another browser to make sure it works how you want it.
Now that i think about it more, I was not logged into my WP account when I successfully added items to the cart. I tried from a different pc and i got the user name password window when I tried to add an item to the cart

Have you got a link to your site?

Yeah, I see it. Try changing the setting for guests to ‘on’.

Actually, what’s weird, is when you select an attribute (size needed for product etc) that’s when the login is prompted. Very strange.
“Thats weird” your not kidding!

Not being hugely experienced with WP-eCommerce (I didn’t get on with it), I would contact support at GetShopped.org.
NB – If you want a better, more efficient eCommerce plugin which is lighter and doesn’t load all sorts of unneccessary scripts, look at Woocommerce. They also have an WP-eCommerce -> Woocommerce importer which you may find useful.
I’m loving Woocommerce at the moment, zero headaches.
I will check that out…thanks!
