How do I generate a customer account that doesn't need to be registered?

What I mean by that question is, how do I create a customer account, with a password and login that I can send directly to them, instead of them having to register manually

Hi C4guns,

You won't be able to create customers passwords manually for security reasons, but you can make the process a bit easier by sending customers account activation emails. This is how the process would look like:

1. Create Customer Accounts in Shopify:

• Log in to the Shopify Admin.
• Navigate to the "Customers" section.
• Click on "Add customer" to manually add a new customer. Enter the customer's details, including their email address.
• Or use the "Import" option in the Customers section to bulk import customer details using a CSV file. Ensure the CSV file has all the necessary details, including email addresses.

2. Send Account Activation Emails:

• Once you've added the customers, they won't have passwords set up yet. Instead of setting passwords for them (which isn't secure), you can:
• In the Customers section, select the customers you've just added.
• From the "Bulk actions" dropdown, choose "Send account invite". This action will send an email to the selected customers with a link to activate their account.
• Customers will receive an email with an activation link. By clicking on this link, they'll be directed to a page where they can set their password and activate their account.

Hope this helps!

Hi Liam,

I want to send a bulk invite as you have explained above but the option 'bulk actions' - 'send account invite' doesn't exist. So how do I do it?

Correct, that option is not available!
