# Account page

The **Account page** is the private area a signed-in customer opens to check personal details, past orders, and saved addresses. Shoppers reach it from the account icon in the header after they log in. Only authenticated customers can open it, so order history and addresses stay protected.

The page appears in your store only when customer accounts are enabled in the Shopify admin. It is managed by Shopify rather than by the theme, so there are no theme-side settings to configure for it.

### Before you start <a href="#before-you-start" id="before-you-start"></a>

Turn on customer accounts in your Shopify admin first. Without them, shoppers have no way to log in and the account page is never reached. See [Customer account](/velare/set-up-your-store/customer-account.md) for the theme side of this setting.

### There is nothing to configure in the theme <a href="#nothing-to-configure" id="nothing-to-configure"></a>

The account page is a Shopify-managed customer account page. Shopify builds and hosts it, so it does not appear as an editable template in **Online Store > Themes > Customize** and it has no theme sections, blocks, or settings you can adjust. What a signed-in customer sees, the order list, the account details, and the saved addresses, is controlled by Shopify.

The theme still shapes how a customer gets to their account: the account icon in the header, and the login and account behaviour covered under [Customer account](/velare/set-up-your-store/customer-account.md) in the theme settings. Those are the only account-related controls on the theme side.

### What changes on the storefront <a href="#what-changes" id="what-changes"></a>

* Signed-in customers get a Shopify-hosted area where they can review orders and manage addresses.
* Returning shoppers can check an order or reuse a saved address without contacting you, which cuts repeat support questions.

### Related pages <a href="#related-pages" id="related-pages"></a>

* [Customer account](/velare/set-up-your-store/customer-account.md): the theme settings that control the login and account behaviour
* [Header](/velare/set-up-your-store/header-group/header.md): where the account icon that opens this page lives
* [Cart page](/velare/customize-your-pages/cart-page.md): the other page a returning customer opens most often

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/customize-your-pages/account-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
