# Account

Shopify offers two options for [customer accounts](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/customers/customer-accounts). The new customer account system is determined by Shopify, not the theme, and it offers a more frictionless experience by sharing checkout information amongst all stores that use the Shop payment system. This saves the customer the trouble of having to maintain account information across different stores.&#x20;

Primavera offers a full set of **legacy customer account templates** in case you are unable to use the new customer account system.

### Account navigation

By default, the account menu includes links to **Order history** and **Addresses**. To add more links, for example a link to your contact page or subscriptions dashboard, create a new menu in **Content > Menus** called **Account** (the menu handle needs to be equal to `account`) and it will appear automatically.
