# Enabling Customer Accounts

Poppy is a **Shopify** **Account Creation Popup.** 

In order to get the most value out of Poppy, it is recommended that you enable customer accounts for your Store.

Customer accounts for your store can be set to one of three options:

* **Accounts are disabled** - Customers will only be able to check out as guests.
* **Accounts are optional** - Customers will be able to check out with a customer account or as a guest.
* **Accounts are required** - Customers will only be able to check out if they have a customer account.

In order to get the most value out of Poppy, it is recommended that you set your store to one of either "**Accounts are optional**" or "**Accounts are required**" in your store's Checkout settings. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you set your store's checkout settings to **Accounts are disabled** Poppy will not send a welcome email to your customers prompting them to finish setting up their account. 
{% endhint %}

You can set your account settings in your store's Checkout settings screen. From within Shopify, navigate to Settings --> Checkout and select either "**Accounts are optional**" or "**Accounts are required**"
