How Do I Enable WooCommerce Signup?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:15 pm

Assuming you have a WooCommerce store set up and running, the first thing you need to do to enable signups is go to the WooCommerce->Settings->Accounts & Privacy page. On this page, there are three options for the “Allow customers to create an account on the “My Account” page” setting:

No – By default, this setting is set to no, which means that customers will not be able to create an account on your store. If you keep this setting disabled, customers will still be able to checkout as guests, but they will not be able to create an account or access their account information after they checkout.

Yes, but they must be verified by an administrator – If you enable this setting, customers will be able to create an account on your store, but their account will not be activated until you or someone with administrator privileges goes into the WordPress backend and manually approves their account. Customers will receive an email notification once their account has been approved.

Yes, and they are automatically verified – Enabling this setting will allow customers to create an account on your store and their account will be automatically activated. They will not receive any email notification about their account being activated.

Conclusion

So there you have it! Those are the three different ways you can enable signups on your WooCommerce store. If you want customers to be able to create an account without any hassle, then we recommend enabling the “Yes, and they are automatically verified” setting.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with WooCommerce, we recommend that you consult with a developer or WooCommerce expert before enabling signup. There are a number of settings that need to be configured correctly in order for signup to work properly, and if not configured correctly, it could result in errors or unexpected behavior.
