# Let customers sign in to see their orders

> Every customer who has ordered from you already has an account. They sign in on your shop with their email and a 6-digit code we send them, no password, then see their orders and subscriptions and update their details.

Help Centre / Orders and customers - Updated 29 October 2026

Your customers can sign in on your shop to see what they've ordered, manage a subscription and keep their details up to date. There is nothing to set up and no extra cost: accounts work on every plan, on your Shoprocket shop and in your embeds.

## How accounts work

- **Every customer already has one.** Shoprocket adds a customer the first time someone places an order, guest or not, and that is their account. Customers you add or import by hand can sign in too. See [Manage your customers](https://v3.shoprocket.io/help/customers.md).
- **There is no sign-up and no password.** A shopper signs in with their email address, and we email them a 6-digit code. Someone who has never ordered from you, and isn't in your customer list, sees "No account found with this email."
- **Checkout never asks them to sign in.** Shoppers check out as guests, and the order still lands on their account because it matches their email.

## Where shoppers sign in

### On your Shoprocket shop

Your shop has an account page at `/account`, for example `portlandroasters.com/account`. To put a link to it in your shop's header:

1. Go to **Website** and open any page in the editor.
2. Click your shop's header.
3. Switch on **Account icon**: "Opens a panel where shoppers sign in and see their orders and subscriptions."
4. Click **Save to every page**. The header is the same on every page, so it goes live straight away.

The account icon is off until you switch it on.

### On your own website

If you sell through embeds, the floating cart button has a person icon after the cart, which opens sign-in. It's shown by default. To hide it, for example because your site has its own Account link, go to **Embeds > Floating cart** and set **Sign-in** to **Hidden**.

Account links in the emails we send your customers, and links to `#!/account` on your own pages, open the same sign-in.

## What your shopper does

1. They enter their **Email** and click **Continue**.
2. We email them a code. The subject is "Your" store name "login code", for example "Your Portland Roasters login code".
3. They type the 6-digit code. It signs them in as soon as the last digit goes in. **Resend code** sends a new one, and **Use a different email** starts again.

The code works once and runs out after 10 minutes. After too many attempts the shopper is asked to wait a moment before trying again. The login email always goes out, even to someone who unsubscribed from your marketing emails.

## What your shopper sees

Once signed in, the shopper sees their name and email at the top and three tabs:

- **Orders**: every order they've placed, with its payment and delivery status. Clicking one opens the full order, the same page the order emails link to. A shopper with none sees "You haven't placed any orders yet."
- **Subscriptions**: any subscriptions they have, where they can manage them. See [Manage subscriptions](https://v3.shoprocket.io/help/manage-subscriptions.md).
- **Details**: their **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Phone**, which they can change with **Save Changes**. Their email is shown but can't be changed here. **Sign Out** is at the bottom.

They stay signed in on that browser until they sign out, for up to 30 days.

## What signing in changes

A signed-in shopper can get anything you've limited to customers with a tag, such as a trade discount. Guests never qualify, because anyone can type an email at checkout. See [Customer tags](https://v3.shoprocket.io/help/customer-tags-and-segments.md).

## Questions

**Can a shopper create an account before they buy?**
No. An account comes with their first order. You can also add them yourself in **Customers**.

**A customer says they can't sign in.**
Check they're using the email they ordered with: search for it in **Customers**. If they're there and no code arrives, ask them to check their spam folder.

**What if a customer changes their email?**
Change it for them: open the customer in **Customers**, click **Edit** and update **Email**. They then sign in with the new address.
