VirtueMart makes use of the global Configuration values which can be set in the Global Configuration for your Joomla!/Mambo site.
- Allow User Registration
-
YES
An user/customer must be registered to your site before being able to checkout (even if the customer might not recognize it due to silent registration). VirtueMart provides an enhanced Registration Form where customers can leave their account and shipping data. When register using this form, they are automatically added to the Joomla! user list.
- Use New Account Activation

NO
If you keep this feature disabled, new customers have a streamlined checkout process and don't have to activate their new account by checking their email and restart their checkout!
- Mail Configuration
