I’m hoping someone can advise me if the following is possible?
I am creating a store that sells a service. The service requires me to collect a few different pieces of information that will then allow me to complete the service for the customer.
I am aware of how to change the registration form to have custom fields to collect the required info on account creation so that isn’t an issue. As I need customers to register an account (to collect the relevant information) before payment is made I would like a way on how to have a clear as day ‘register here’ style button on the main page. On all themes I have seen so far the create account part is somewhat hidden and not clear for prospective customers.
Is there a way I can create a button almost like what the ‘add to cart’ button is but ‘register now’ that then redirects to the account registration page?
It’s entirely possible to add a button on the store’s homepage that redirects customers to the account registration page. The URL for the registration page is /account/register, so it’s really just a matter of customizing the theme to add a button that links to the desired URL. Most Shopify themes allow you to add sections to the homepage with custom content – without having to edit the theme code directly.
For example, with the Debut theme you can add a ‘Custom content’ section to the homepage. Within the section you can add a ‘Custom HTML’ content block. In the content block you can add some HTML to display a hyperlink that is styled like the theme’s native buttons, like so:
