An anonymous user can be created for an applicationAnonymous or Guest Users don't have the ability to log in and check the status of their order, or the ability to reprint any previous projects. Many eCommerce sites offer the ability to check out as a guest. It reduces the amount of work the user needs to complete the transaction, at the expense of access to more functionality later which is only available to people who create an account.
Once an Anonymous User is created, there is no way to retrieve another Token for the same user - once the token expires, that's it! Orders placed by Anonymous Users will receive email notifications when the order status changes as normal, but the emails will not include links to the Customer Portal as there would be no way to log in.
The advantage of Anonymous Users is that there is no requirement to build User Interface inside the application to handle sign up, log in and token expiry which makes for an easier integration.
