Customer Registration for Yahoo Stores

Posted by admin under New Features

Next year Yahoo will be rolling out Customer Registration. It will introduce registration, sign-in, and account features for your store customers, making it easy for customers to register their information and to enjoy a faster, more efficient checkout experience.

This is a fantastic addition Yahoo Store Owners will see big benefits from. Simply adding the ability for customers to check the status of their order is a huge step in terms of automated customer service.

The opt-in will be optional, so customers will not HAVE to register if they don’t want to. They will be able to continue on as a guest. I believe this will require some configuration changes because you don’t want to add another page to your checkout process. Once it is released I’ll work with it and see what can be done to make it easy for customers to use while not breaking up your checkout flow or becoming a distraction.
