Shopify recently announced a major upgrade to its customer accounts. The upgrade, “Customer Account Extensions,” offers advanced features that enhance both Business-to-Business (B2B) and Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) customer profiles. This upgrade will significantly increase the login and purchasing processes for both customers and merchants.
Simple Affiliate is proud to be one of the 40 official launch partners for releasing customer account extensions. Shopify and Simple Affiliate are dedicated to providing a top-notch user experience for customers and partners, and this new feature is sure to elevate both platforms.
With customer account extensions, users can sign in through their Shopify app or by using a one-time password. Merchants can also embed links into their marketing emails, giving customers a shortcut to their order status page, order index page, or profile without having to sign in.
Customers can also edit and update their profiles from there, further streamlining the account management process. Depending on your Shopify plan, people with customer account extensions can also integrate with B2B wholesale and saved payment methods.
When customers enter their email, they receive a one-time code that they can enter to activate the new feature. A new one is automatically created if someone logs in with an email not associated with an existing customer profile.
