Customer account scope

The header of every page in your store extends an invitation for shoppers to Log in or register for an account with your store. Customers who open an account enjoy a range of benefits, including:

• Create customer account - Visitors can create a customer account so that they can use the storefront as a registered customer.
• Create a company account Depending on the configuration, a visitor to your store can choose to create a company account. For more information, see B2B for Adobe Commerce.
• Faster checkout — Registered customers move through checkout faster because much of the information is already in their accounts.
• Self-service — Registered customers can update their information, check the status of orders, and even reorder from their accounts.

Customers can access their account by clicking the My Account link in the header of the store. From their account, customers can view and modify information, including past and current addresses, billing and shipping preferences, newsletter subscriptions, wishlist, and more.
