When I do the user registration via the store-api as a guest:

> [https://my-url.com/store-api/account/register](https://my-url.com/store-api/account/register)

I cannot login via

> [https://my-url.com/store-api/account/login](https://my-url.com/store-api/account/login)

with following error message:  
 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/8/2/82fdec4d9c17ee2f5b801a83d8e220808c813764.png)

When I do exactly the same, but not as a guest, it works. That means I register with the same body data besides „guest“: true (which I deleted in the body).

Any suggestions what might be wrong, when registering as a guest.

I use shopware 6.4.13.

Hope this can help you. It is impossible to find…  
But it seems, that it not work for itself.  
Our shop sending a special link with an special order ID like this:  
[https://www.YourURL.com/account/guest/login?redirectTo=frontend.account.order.single.page&redirectParameters[deepLinkCode]=1234567890&loginError=0&waitTime=](https://www.YourURL.com/account/guest/login?redirectTo=frontend.account.order.single.page&redirectParameters%5BdeepLinkCode%5D=1234567890&loginError=0&waitTime=)

I have replaced the order code that our shop generated with 1234567890.

I’m replying to this topic, because I had the same problem, and so it might be useful for people who find this forum post in the future.

A guest can’t be logged in BUT if you make the API-requests in the right order, the guest will count as „logged-in“ upon registration for the checkout step.

The right order here means creating a cart before registering a guest: (only listing the API endpoints)

1. /store-api/context – use this token until step (5)
2. /store-api/checkout/cart
3. /store-api/checkout/cart/line-item
4. /store-api/account/register – the response header will contain a new sw-context-token
5. /store-api/checkout/order – using the new token

For the requests you can use the data from the Store-API quick guide: [Registering a customer | Store API (stoplight.io)](https://shopware.stoplight.io/docs/store-api/aa7ea5e14dea6-registering-a-customer)  
But add `"guest": true` for the /store-api/account/register call.
