With the new site going live this weekend, we thought it only right to highlight some of the exciting new features available in a series of blog posts over the coming weeks. Today, we're delving into the benefits of setting up an account online versus using the guest checkout method. Here is a detailed comparison to help you decide which option best suits your shopping needs.

Creating an online account

Creating an account will allow you to enjoy several convenient features that enhance your shopping experience:

  • Faster Checkout: Once your account is set up, your information is saved, allowing you to breeze through the checkout phase faster when making a purchase.
  • Order Tracking: Easily check the status of your order at any time, providing peace of mind and up-to-date information on your delivery.
  • Order History: Access your full order history, enabling you to view past purchases, reorder favourite items, or keep track of your spending.
  • Account Management: Make changes to your account information, such as updating your email address or phone number, without needing to contact us directly.
  • Password Security: Update your password securely whenever necessary to keep your account safe and protected.
  • Multiple Addresses: Store alternative addresses within your account, which is perfect for shipping to multiple family members, friends, or business addresses without the need to re-enter information every time.
  • Personalized Offers: Receive special offers and discount codes tailored specifically to your preferences, ensuring you receive deals that are most relevant to you.

Using the Guest checkout system

  • Repeated Data Entry: You’ll need to fill in your details, including your name, contact information, and delivery address, each time you make a purchase. This can be time-consuming, especially if you’re a frequent shopper.
  • No Information Storage: Your information will not be saved for future orders, meaning you’ll have to input everything from scratch each time.
  • Limited Offers: Discount codes and special offers will be less targeted to your specific preferences, potentially missing out on deals that are more aligned with your shopping habits.
  • No Order History: You won’t have access to your past orders and prices, making it harder to keep track of what you’ve purchased previously.
  • No Order Tracking: You won’t be able to check the status of your order online, which could be inconvenient if you want to know when your package will arrive.
  • Slower Checkout: The checkout process may take longer to complete each time since your details are not stored.

Ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to order through the Jars&Bottles. We advise creating an online account as it will make the checkout process faster and smoother, offering a more personalized shopping experience. However, that decision is for you to make based on your preferences and shopping habits.

Till next time, happy shopping with Jars and Bottles.
