Customer Login

Modified on Tue, 27 Jan at 4:26 AM

The Customer Login settings can be found in the Shopping Cart Administration Area under Settings > General Settings > Customer Login.

Customer Login allows your customers to create a password protected account. On future orders, your customers will be able to sign in on the cart or checkout pages, which provides them with the following benefits:

  1. Auto populate cart address fields.
  2. Review order history, including order status.
  3. Update password and address information.

To Enable Customer Login

  1. Click on Settings > General Settings > Customer Login.
  2. Check the Enable Customer Login box.
  3. Click the Save button.

NOTE: If Customer Login is enabled, your customers will still always have the choice to order without creating an account or signing in.

To Disable Customer Login

  1. Click on Settings > General Settings > Customer Login.
  2. Check one of the following options:

    Disable Customer Login but recall customer addresses from cookies. Your customers will not have the option to create an account or sign in but their billing and shipping address will be saved to a cookie (a file on their computer). On future orders, the shopping cart will use the cookie to automatically fill in address fields.

    Disable Customer Login and recalling customer addresses from cookies. Your customers will not have the option to create an account or sign in. In addition, billing and shipping address information will not be saved to or read from a cookie. Returning customers will always have to re-enter their address information.

  3. Click the Save button.

Frequently Asked Questions

I use the cart for in-house order processing instead of on a publicly available website. Should I disable customer login and recalling customer addresses?

Yes. In this situation, there would not be a benefit to having address information auto populate.
