If you wish users to be navigated to the checkout page after login, you'll need to set up an IntelliCart Authentication in addition.NOTE: As a Products Catalog usually added on the Dashboard (URL ends with "/my" after main LMS URL), the link with "/my" should be provided to guests. E.g., https://moodle.intelliboard.net/my
