You probably know, how good is Shopify as an e-commerce platform for your online store, though you need to control all different aspects from your business to make it grow and scale and better sell online.

You probably already have a base of customers with their email address that spend regularly on your website and you want to keep growing that base. In order to do so, there are different strategies to create loyal customers. One of them is to have them create a customer account.

With customer accounts, your loyal customers would not need to write down their personal data every time they order on your store, this helps them to have an easier and better purchase experience. So, by helping them, you help your revenue growth.

Customers with accounts are more loyal to businesses and they tend to spend more on their orders.

If you are not a Shopify Plus customer, currently, Shopify does not offer an easy bulk account invite send option, so this is a manual process that you have to go through.
