Some out-of-the-box widgets allow self-registration while others do not. These widgets should be used appropriately, depending on the types of shopper your storefront supports. Specifically, shoppers should not be allowed to self-register for a business account. In the case of a storefront that supports both individual shoppers and account-based shoppers, your UI should make it clear that any self-registration activity creates an individual shopper account, not a business account (see “Note about Preventing Self-Registration in Account-based Storefronts” in the Extending Oracle Commerce Cloud guide for more details). The following widget elements affect self-registration:
The Login/Registration element in the Header widget allows self-registration while the Contact Login (for Managed Accounts) element does not.
The Registration Button element on the Wish List Welcome widget, available on the Wish List Layout, allows self-registration. This element can be removed for pages that must prevent account-based shoppers from self-registering.
