I've run across a few sites that allow me to check out entirely through Google Pay or PayPal, but not many. I still don't love the info going through Google, but at this point they already have all my information, so it doesn't really make much of a difference at this point.

And of course for anything that needs to be shipped they are going to need a name and shipping address.

I would like to seeegally mandatory "guest checkout" options with protections on data use. They'll need to keep some kind of invoice/receipt of the transaction, but it should be illegal to use it for any other purposes than order/purchase tracking for guest accounts.
