Hey @basicallybhavesh
Unforunately not without custom code as EDD requires at least the email of a visitor to create a Customer account so that purchases/subscriptions and even the download history can be tied to a specific user.
Regards
Why capture the customer’s email, if I dont allow the creation of user accounts on my site. Is it for the purpose of sending out receipts?
Thanks

Hey there,
In EDD every purchase, even if no actual WordPress user is created, a purchase record (Downloads > Payment History) is created for the transaction and also a Customer record. Its required so that the plugin can keep track of a Customer’s purchases, subscriptions, etc.
Sending out the receipts is also one requirement as without an email on the account that feature can not work.
I understand that. Would it be possible to make it optional to track their email? Maybe just track a Customer ID? Or no need to track any details about the costumer at all? (Speaking in the context of free downloads)
Sorry for the delay here. The minimum field that EDD requires is the email field during checkout. Anything else besides that would require custom code.
