The `customers/register` template renders the customer register page, which hosts the form for [customer account](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/customers/customer-accounts) creation. > Tip: > Refer to the [customers/register template](https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/templates/customers/register.json) and its [main section](https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/sections/main-register.liquid) in Dawn for an example implementation.
An example of the customer register template in Dawn
## Location The `customers/register` template is located in the `templates` > `customers` directory of the theme: ```text └── theme ├── layout ├── templates | └── customers | ├── register.json | ... ... ``` ## Content You should include the [customer register form](#the-customer-register-form) in your `customers/register` 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 register form The customer register form can be added with the Liquid [`form` tag](/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-create_customer) and accompanying `'create_customer'` parameter. Within the form tag block, you need to include the following:
Input type name
First name text customer[first_name]
Last name text customer[last_name]
Email email customer[email]
Password password customer[password]
For example: ```liquid {% form 'create_customer' %} {{ form.errors | default_errors }}
{% endform %} ``` ## Usage When working with the `customers/register` template, you should familiarize yourself with redirecting customers on account creation. ### Redirect customers on account creation By default, when a customer creates an account, they're directed to the [home page](/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/templates/index-template). However, you can specify a page to direct customers to using the `return_to` parameter of the Liquid [form tag](/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-return_to). For example, the following directs customers to the all-products collection page: ```liquid {% form 'create_customer', return_to: routes.all_products_collection_url %} {% endform %} ```
