## Location The `customers/activate_accoun`t template is located in the `templates` > `customers` directory of the theme: ```text └── theme ├── layout ├── templates | └── customers | ├── activate_account.json | ... ... ``` ## Content You should include the [customer account activation form](#the-customer-account-activation-form) in your `customers/activate_account` template or a section inside of the template. > Tip: > If you're using a JSON template, then any HTML or Liquid code needs to be included in a [section](/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/sections) that's referenced by the template. ### The customer account activation form The customer account activation form can be added with the Liquid [`form` tag](/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-activate_customer_password) and accompanying `'activate_customer_password'` parameter. Within the form tag block, you need to include the following:
Input type name
Password password customer[password]
Password confirmation password customer[password_confirmation]
For example: ```liquid {% form 'activate_customer_password' %} {{ form.errors | default_errors }}
or
{% endform %} ``` ## Usage When working with the `customers/activate_account` template, you should familiarize yourself with [previewing the template](#preview-the-template). ### Preview the template To preview the `customers/activate_account` template, perform the following steps: 1.
