I have a requirement for a shopify site to use a “member model” where by the visitor can’t access the website until they have signed up / logged in. Unfortunately, due to the workflow of shopify, the customer can only signup when they have bought something.
The API allows the creation of customer accounts, and was wondering if it could be used to create a customer account without the visitor actually buying anything and also to trigger the “invite” email so that its created as a usable account. Is this possible?
Or is there a workable solution to this? I fully understand and agree with shopify’s workflow but it would be a nice option to have.
Regards,
Rob
The Customer API deals with the creation and management of customer records, not Customer Accounts.
There is no way to create customer accounts programatically at this time.
