The Accounts Settings Tab
We’re moving to the next tab, named Accounts. There are only a couple of settings here that you need to pay attention to:
The setting for Accounts is as follows:
- The first part, Account Pages, and My Account Endpoints may all be left at their default settings.
- The Registration Options deserve some more attention. First of all, you set where the customer can create a new account for the store. Make it easy and enable them both. Next, by default WooCommerce will show a reminder on the checkout page, so that existing customers remember to log in.
- At Account Creation, WooCommerce can use the e-mail address as a username, or let the customer pick a username for themselves. The default option is generally the best one because customers often forget the
usernames they chose. Besides that, the username must be unique, so in a large shop, it could become a frustrating task for a user if the username of their choice has already been taken.
