BigCommerce Restricted Cart

The Cart Restrict app lets store owners require Single Sign-On (SSO) login for customers who buy from specific product categories, while keeping guest checkout available for everything else. You choose which categories are restricted from the app dashboard. When a guest tries to check out with a restricted item in their cart, they are sent to your SSO provider to log in first, then returned to checkout with their cart intact.

you can set up BigCommerce SSO to let them sign in through social login or your identity provider.
