No, it is not a requirement that you must create an account for yourself as you are also able to shop and checkout as a guest at any stage. Although the benefits of having an account is that our site stores password-protected information about a customer's identity, order history, and current order status, all of which is available to you. Your details, such as address information, will be pre-filled from the stored information during future checkouts. Should you forget your password, we are able to easily assist you in setting a new password.
