My Account Pages

These Page Types allow you to define My Account features for each User. This information is dynamically presented to the User that is logged in when the Page is viewed.  This information is used to pre-fill other Page Types such as the Commerce Page Types and the Custom Form Page Types.  All information that a User can manage themselves is accessible from this Page.

The system will display the first Page of each of these Page Types that it finds, so you should only have one Page in your the system with this Page Type! If any of these Page Types are missing from your website, a default page will be displayed for the Page Type so that your website will continue to function.

These Page Types provided so that you can create your own custom to display the User's stored information, including:

The My Account page is a smart page, and displays only the information that applies to the User or the Site Settings in general. For example:

My Account Page

This Page displays the User's Personal Contact Information and links to the other account pages: My Account Profile, Email Preferences, View Orders, and Change Password. If any commerce features have been used, any Saved Carts, Order History, and Shipping Address Book is displayed.

NOTE: You only need to link to the My Account Page. All other account page types are automatically linked to this Page.

My Account Profile Page

This Page Type is provided so that you can create your own custom Page to allow Users to update their Contact/Billing information.

Change Password Page

A Change Password Page presents a form that allows a logged in User to change their password.

E-Mail Preferences Page

This Page Type is provided so that you can create your own custom Page to allow Users to update their e-mail address and e-mail subscriptions. This Page displays a selection check box to the User to indicate whether they wish to receive ANY e-mail from subscriptions available to them.

A User can deselect this global opt-in/opt-out setting for their User Account to refuse any e-mail regardless of whether they have previously signed up for e-mail in the past. If the User selects the checkbox, then they are eligible to receive e-mails from any group that they are a member of. They can opt-in and opt-out of any subscription at any time.

A subscription is like a mailing list.  Subscriptions can be "open" or "closed".  Open subscriptions allow Users to opt-in and opt-out at any time through this Page Type.  Closed subscriptions are used to create mailing lists where the Users must be added to the subscription by a Site Editor (an employee mailing list would be a good example of a closed subscription).  For more information, please refer to Contact Groups.

Update Address Book Page

This Page Type is provided a way for your Customers to add and update their shipping addresses.  These addresses are collected whenever they complete an Order and are used to pre-fill shipping addresses for future orders.

View Order Page

This Page Type provides a way for your Customers to view their submitted Orders. Customers can also find shipping tracking codes (if available) to track shipments and view split shipments (see View Order under Commerce to add these values for any order) from this page as well as reorder the same products and services from the previous Order.

To create any of these Page Types, click on "Create Page". You should only have one Page with these Page Types on your website.
