Help removing "Authenticate to view order details" on checkout page

Hi-

I'm not finding where I can remove the section on the checkout screen where the user has to enter a confirmation code sent to them to view their order details. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 

Thanks!

Hello! I just started having this appear, too, and I've been using squarespace for years. What is this and why can I find no other info about it in a Google search? Did you ever find a solution?

This is the Order Status page that was added to Squarespace on 7 February 2023. It replaced the original Order Confirmation page and provides far more detail to customers. Can you explain the issue that you are experiencing and why it is a problem?

Hello! The problem I am having is that when the customer enters their email and the confirmation code, nothing happens. I've tried it myself and also get a non-response. 

In addition (that is, on a non-technical level), it seems inherently confusing. if a customer has JUST placed the order, why would they need details? Wouldn't this be more useful to access at some later point? But by then, the window would have been closed by the user, and they would have moved on. As soon as a customer submits the order, the window with this authenticate option appears. It implies that there is something that has to be done, vs something that could be done. In order to use the window, the customer has to toggle out to their email, find the confirmation code that comes with the auto acknowledgement of the order, and return to this window to enter the confirmation code. But if they've JUST placed the order, why do they need the details? And if they want to find the details later, this window is gone, because it would have been closed. I'm genuinely flummoxed. Insight?

I tested this (with another site) and it worked for me, but if this isn't your experience (or your customer's experience!) then I recommend that you reach out to Squarespace Customer Care with the order details.

You're right! If a customer has just placed an order they shouldn't need these details and they won't be prompted for them. They should only be prompted for them if they click the link in the confirmation email after it arrives.

When the page appears immediately after checkout, customers should see this:

It should show the contact details and shipping address, and there should also be an option to create an account (if they didn't create one on the previous page). It shouldn't prompt for information.

The prompt to authenticate should only appear if the customer opens the Order Status page at another time, to view the up-to-date status of the order. For example, they'll receive a link to the Order Status page in their order confirmation email and may click this shortly after it arrives. If they click on this link, they will be prompted to provide their email address and confirmation code, or create an account.

I hope this helps to explain what should happen. As I mentioned above, if this isn't what you are experiencing then I recommend that you reach out to Squarespace Customer Care. Let us know how you get on.
