# Customer accounts

Having customer accounts on an eCommerce allows customers to access all their documents from a
single place. To access their account, customers must be **logged-in** on the eCommerce website,
click on their **username** in the top-right corner of the screen, and click {guilabel}`My Account`.
From there, customers can access their {guilabel}`quotations`, {guilabel}`orders`,
{guilabel}`invoices`, etc.

:::{note}
Customers can only have an account if the
{ref}`sign in/up at checkout <ecommerce/checkout/policy>` option allows for account creation.

:::{tip}
Similarly to the rest of the website, the customer account page can be customized with **content
blocks** and other features through the **website builder**.

## Access restriction

It is possible to allow or restrict the documents to which customers have access through the website
builder. Log in your **own** account with your Odoo database credentials, and go to
{menuselection}`Edit --> Customize`. From the website builder menu, enable or disable the documents
customers can have access to.

## Multi-website account

If you own multiple websites, you can make customer accounts available across **all** websites.
Then, the customer only needs one account. To do so, go to {menuselection}`Website --> Configuration
--> Settings --> Privacy section`, and enable {guilabel}`Shared Customer Accounts`.
