Your customer's won't need an account to check out on your Online Store. If any of your customers have purchased from other Square Online Stores, they may have created an account and can use that login but it's not required!
Your customer's check out page should look like this:

Hoping this isn't true ... that would turn away many potential customers.
@Mjgurl - You can always check out as a guest. 😀 No account necessary!
