When a customer purchases an item from your store, SHOPLINE will not automatically create a customer account with the customer’s email address. Your customers can create an account through your store later if they want.
Customers can also place an order as guests in your store without logging into their account; however, logging into an account in an account allows your customers to access their favourite products, see order history, get access to their special member discounts, and view past orders.
