Customer accounts are a core feature of Shopify and are not theme specific. You can make customer accounts required or optional, or disable them altogether. 

Customer accounts allow your customers access to their order history and the ability to add and edit addresses which will help to speed up checkout for later orders.

To enable customer accounts:

  1. in your Shopify admin open: Settings checkout
  2. Select Checkout 



  3. On the following page set Customer accounts to optional or required



  4. Click Save when done to apply the change. 

Customers will now be able to create or register for an account within your theme.
