I am running Commerce 5 on a Craft Solo edition but am struggling with guest checkouts. Error Message: `email: Unable to save user:`. Nothing more. Logs aren’t helpful as well.

Commerce seems eager to create a new user when updating the address on the cart which it can’t since there is one one user allowed. There is no guest checkout setting anywhere to m knowledge so it has to be done in the templates.

What are the special requirements for guest checkouts on Craft Solo? How do I suppress the need to associate a guest with a user?
