# Shopify-account web component for storefronts

Simplify customer account implementation with our new `shopify-account` component. This web component allows customers to sign in and access account navigation menu—all without leaving the storefront.

## What's included

* Sign-in methods: passwordless sign-in, social sign-in with Facebook and Google, and automatic sign-in with Shop recognition
* Account navigation menu with customizable quick links
* Styling control via CSS variables
* Automatic feature updates from Shopify without requiring you to update your code

This component eliminates the guesswork around customer account implementation. It's fully integrated with the latest version of customer accounts, offers customizable styling to match your brand, and enables seamless sign-in for your customers.

Visit our [dev docs](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront-web-components/components/shopify-account) to get started now.

The account component is available now in the latest version of the Horizon themes. If stores you manage are using a Horizon theme, update your theme now to get this component live on your storefront.

## Coming soon

The `shopify-account` component will soon be required for all themes submitted to or updated in the Theme Store. If you're a theme partner, we recommend [adding it to your themes](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/customer-engagement/account-component) now.
