# Customer Accounts **What You’ll Learn** * The difference between Shopify’s legacy and new customer account systems * How to set up and style the login, registration, and account dashboard pages using your theme * Why we recommend using legacy accounts for full theme customization *** Shopify offers two types of customer account systems: the **new login flow** (email-only access) and the **legacy account system** (email + password). For stores using OpenSpaces themes like **Plain Jane**, the legacy system allows full page customization and theme integration. > ⚠️ Warning: The new Shopify account pages (with email login codes) do **not** support theme customization. We strongly recommend using **legacy accounts** if you want to control styling and layout for login, register, and account dashboard pages. *** ### ✨ Customizable Account Pages in the Theme Here are the pages included in the legacy customer account flow — all of which support full visual customization inside the Shopify Theme Editor: * **Login Page** – Add images, colors, button labels, and custom text * **Register Page** – Edit field labels, error colors, and form button styles * **Account Dashboard** – Customize the hero image, welcome text, and order table styling * **Address Management** – Let users add/edit addresses with flexible button and text settings > 💡 Tip: Some pages (like the account dashboard) require you to log in through the Theme Editor preview to view or edit them. *** ### 🔐 How to Enable Legacy Accounts You can enable legacy customer accounts by: 1. Going to **Shopify Admin → Settings → Customer accounts** 2. Enabling **Show login links** 3. Selecting **Legacy** as the account type This ensures your customers will use the legacy system, allowing your customized account pages to show properly. !\[Placeholder for Screenshot - Legacy Account Settings] *** Once legacy accounts are enabled, use the documentation pages in this section to style each part of the customer experience. ### **Need Help?** * 💬 **Join our community on Discord:** * 📧 **Email us at:** * 💻 **Live chat with us:** Available Monday–Friday, 10AM–6PM EST, directly on our website --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
