How to Customize Your Shopify New Customer Account Profile Page

Shopify has "traditional customer accounts" and "new customer accounts". The "new customer account" has an improved login method and provides a smoother user experience. However, the default profile page has less freedom to customize, and for example, you cannot edit "banner images" or "metafields additional information" by default.

In this article, we will show you how to freely customize the profile page of Shopify's "New Customer Account" using an app. Using the method introduced in this article, you can customize your profile page as shown below!

Profile page features and limitations

Every new customer account comes with a standard profile page where your customers can view and edit the following information:

What you can do on a standard profile page

✅ View/edit name ✅ Add/edit address ✅ Check order history ✅ Manage delivery information

What a standard profile page can't do

❌ Add/Edit Custom Metafields (e.g. Customer Preferences) ❌ Add Images

In particular, for shops that operate editing customer metafields or for B2B stores that want to manage additional information , the standard profile page may not be sufficient.
