Your website in DistributorCentral has a built-in shopping cart which allows your customers to place orders to you. Whenever they go through the ordering process, the system will automatically generate a username and password for them, which they can then use to login to view their order history. Furthermore, you customers can view their order status as well as quotes and invoices from the My Account page on your site (see image below).
Whenever visitors go through the ordering process, they will also be added to your Customer List in your DistributorCentral account. From within your account, you will have the ability to review and edit their information as well as send them their username and password if they happen to forget it.
The My Account page will also allow your visitors to register or sign up on your website. Additionally, if you enter in a customer or place orders for a customer in your DistributorCentral account, you can then send them a username and password to your website as well.
Many of the premade templates already incorporate the My Account page; however, you can remove this page if you prefer to not have this feature on your website. You can also set a website preference to not have the system generate a username and password for your customers when they go through the ordering process. To find this preference, go to the Websites Menu >> Add/Edit Websites >> then click on the Preferences link. From here, select No for the Send New Customer Registration Email preference. Click on Save and then Publish your website.
NOTE: The My Account page is intended to be used by your customer and is not intended for “you” to sign in to your own DistributorCentral account. Instead, if you want to login to your DistributorCentral account, go to www.DistributorCentral.com.
