Shopify Customer Accounts, a new Account Menu, and introducing… Flare

New Customer Accounts support

Yesterday, Shopify released Customer Accounts extensibility for Shopify merchants on all plans. We partnered with Shopify on the release by building a set of extensions you can use on your New Customer Account dashboard today.

We built our Customer Accounts integrations to work seamlessly with your existing storefront extensions so now you don’t have to choose between being on the latest Shopify accounts technology and using Lantern’s features.

If you’re using classic customer accounts, you still get access to all the new features we’ve built. Lantern works great no matter what version of Customer Accounts you use. 

New Dynamic Account Menu

Shopify’s Customer Account dashboard lives outside of your store so we wanted to make sure your customers still had an easy way to access their account information. We rebuilt our Account Menu from the ground up to give you complete control and still give your customers what they want.

With our Dynamic Account Menu you can:

  • Give access to order status, recently viewed products, and more

  • Help logged-in customers access to their most used features right from your navigation

  • Give customers a clear path to creating an account wherever they are on your store

  • Take full control to build a menu that fits your brand.

The new Account Menu extension works great for merchants using new Customer Accounts or legacy Customer Accounts.

If you were using our Account Menu extension, your store has already been upgraded to use our new menu. Check it out in Lantern.

Introducing Flare, our no-code editor

In order to give you the most control over both Customer Accounts extensions and the powerful Dynamic Account Menu, we built a brand new editing experience. We call it Flare.

Flare gives you complete control over the content, layout, and style of your Lantern extensions. We’ve started with supporting our latest extensions but we’ll be rolling out support for all of our extensions over time.

We’re really excited about the future possibilities Flare will enable for us as we build more customization and personalization tools into Lantern. Like all of our features, it’s available for merchants on all plans.

Try it out now in the Lantern app.

  • Online Store: The Online Store / Extensions section is now smarter about how it fetches your theme and which extensions you have installed.
