How can I allow customers to edit their information? (Without paid app)

[morima]

Are there any ways to allow customers to edit their personal information without paid apps?

I know we can let customers change their addresses and password through form tags but how can I do the same for editing their info like names and phone numbers?

Can custom apps do that?

I am assuming just making a put call through ajax or something from the front and handle it on the backend with Node.js would do the work like written here.

Can a custom app do that or do I need to build a public app for it?

(tbh I am not really sure the difference between these though).

Any inputs would be very appreciated!

Hello @morima 

I would like to give you the recommendation to support you so kindly follow steps below to enable an edit account page:

1. Make sure to use a Customer Fields form with the account options setting set to 'Default'

2. Copy the form ID from the app admin

3. Launch the theme editor for the theme you're working on

   1. You can launch the theme editor from the Shopify admin under Sales channels > Online Store > Themes > Customize

   2. You can also launch the theme editor using the form builder in the app admin. From the form builder, click on the 'Installation' tab, select the theme you're working on, and then click the link for 'Launch theme editor'

4. Once in Shopify's theme editor, open up the app embed settings for Customer Fields, and paste the form ID into the field for 'Edit account form ID'

5. (Optional) Use the language settings in the app embed to customize the text shown to customers

6. Click the 'Save' button in the theme editor to save your changes

I hope the above is useful to you.
Best regards,

Thank you. But you are talking about a paid app so it is not what I wanted...

Hope the above will help someone using the app though.
