Creating a Customer Account
Creating an account on behalf of a Customer in Zen Cart
There are several ways to create an account. The simplest is to go to the storefront and click the login link. From there, you can create an account with their email address and a randomly chosen password.
If you wish to create accounts from your admin, several options are available:
- Add Customers from Admin by balihr.
- Add Customers from Admin by dbltoe
- Add Customers from Admin for 1.5.x by lat9
