Store setup
Customer accounts
Turn on customer accounts, choose what the account menu shows, and understand how sign-in works in Vellora.
Vellora uses Shopify's customer accounts, where customers sign in with a one-time code sent to their email, without a password. Sign-in, order history and profile pages are hosted by Shopify and styled in your checkout settings, not in the theme.
Turn on customer accounts
- In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Customer accounts.
- Turn on the sign-in links for your online store header and checkout.
- Check that the store uses customer accounts, Shopify's current version, rather than legacy accounts.
- Save your changes.
When accounts are on, Vellora shows an account icon in the header. When they're off, the icon is hidden.
What customers see
- Signed out: the account icon. Selecting it opens Shopify's sign-in, where the customer enters their email and a code.
- Signed in: the customer's avatar or initials in the same place. Selecting it opens an account sheet with links to their orders and profile, plus the links in your account menu.
The account button works the same on desktop and mobile.
Choose the account menu
The account sheet can show extra links, such as your returns page or a loyalty program.
- Go to Content > Menus and open Customer account main menu (handle
customer-account-main-menu). Shopify creates this menu for you. - Add or remove links and click Save.
- To use a different menu, open the theme editor, select the Header section and choose it under Account menu.
See the Header reference.
Style account pages
Account pages use the branding from Shopify's checkout and accounts editor, not the theme's colors.
- Go to Settings > Checkout and click Customize.
- In the checkout and accounts editor, open the customer account pages from the page menu at the top.
- Set your logo, colors and fonts to match Vellora.
Tips
- Use the same logo and accent color in the checkout and accounts editor as in Theme settings so the switch feels seamless.
- Add a link to your returns or FAQ page in the account menu. Customers often look for it after an order.
