Adding an eCommerce Store Login

Overview

The eCommerce login feature allows Website visitors to create an account for your store and sign in during their next visit. In addition, Website owners can manage those visitors and grant them special promotions. This is useful if you'd like to monitor customer activity or reward frequent buyers.

Guide

Add login button

There is no signup or login widget for StoreFront. Instead, you can link any text, button, or image widget to the store login page. To do so, go to the Store link section in the Button Content Editor and select the "Store Login" option from the dropdown.

Login page

The login page gives your users an option to enter their email address and receive a link to sign into the store on their email address. The login link can only be used once and will expire in 14 days.

Customer account home

Once logged in, customers can adjust account settings, view order history, or manage address information.

Managing customer accounts

You can view your customer accounts in the StoreFront control panel. To access a list of customers, click on the My Sales tab, then click the Customers tab. You can export customer information to a CSV from this screen.

Considerations

The text on the button does not change when the user is logged in, so we recommend using neutral text on the button, such as "My Account" rather than "Customer Login".
