Why this matters on Shopify
Requires new customer accounts enabled. Extensions deploy via apps.
Shopify's ecosystem moves fast: Online Store 2.0, Checkout Extensibility, Markets, and B2B features change what "best practice" means each year. Treat this topic as part of your store's architecture—not a one-time checkbox.
India-specific considerations
Indian brands add return initiation and WhatsApp support links in account.
Indian shoppers expect mobile-first UX, UPI and COD options, WhatsApp support, and GST-compliant invoicing. Any Shopify implementation that ignores these signals loses conversions even if the underlying code is technically correct.
Common mistakes to avoid
Building custom account pages outside Shopify—breaks order sync UX.
Theme Check, PageSpeed Insights, and Shopify's admin analytics exist to catch these issues before they cost revenue. Schedule quarterly reviews—especially before Diwali, Republic Day sales, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday if you sell globally.
