 Customer accounts
 =================
 
-Having customer accounts on an eCommerce allows customers to access all their documents from a
-single place. To access their account, customers must be **logged-in** on the eCommerce website,
-click on their **username** in the top-right corner of the screen, and click :guilabel:`My Account`.
-From there, customers can access their :guilabel:`quotations`, :guilabel:`orders`,
-:guilabel:`invoices`, etc.
+Using customer accounts for an ecommerce shop enables you to :ref:`manage customers
+<ecommerce/customer_accounts/account-creation>`, :ref:`control access to the shop
+<ecommerce/customer_accounts/shop-access>`, the :ref:`checkout
+<ecommerce/customer_accounts/checkout-access>` or the :ref:`customer portal <portal/access>`,
+and support both B2B and B2C operations.
+
+After logging in, customers can access their documents by clicking their username in the top-right
+corner of the screen selecting :guilabel:`My Account`. From there, they can view all their
+documents in one place, such as :guilabel:`quotations`, :guilabel:`orders`,
+:guilabel:`invoices` and more.

+Customer account creation
+=========================
+
+You can choose whether customer accounts and document access are available to everyone or restricted
+to invited users only. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings`,
+then scroll down to the :guilabel:`Privacy` section. Under :guilabel:`Customer Account`, select one
+of the following options:
+
+- :guilabel:`On invitation`: Customers can only create an account if the website owner sends them
+  an invitation.
+- :guilabel:`Free sign up`: Every website visitor can create an account and sign in. They will
+  get access to the :doc:`portal <../../general/users/portal>` by default.
+
+If account creation is restricted to invited customers only, go to :menuselection:`Website -->
+eCommerce --> Customers`, switch to the :guilabel:`List` view, and select the customers who
+should gain access to the :doc:`portal <../../general/users/portal>`.
+Click the :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Actions` button, then :guilabel:`Grant portal access`.
+In the :guilabel:`Portal Access Management`, review the selected customers and click
+:guilabel:`Grant Access` to confirm.
+
+Once done, the relevant customers receive an email confirming their account creation, including
+instructions on setting a password and activating their account.
 
 .. note::
-   Customers can only have an account if the
-   :ref:`sign in/up at checkout <ecommerce/checkout/policy>` option allows for account creation.
+   - When selecting the :guilabel:`Free sign up`, a clickable :guilabel:`Don't have an account?`
+     link appears under the login form on the website.
+   - The :guilabel:`On invitation` option is especially useful for B2B businesses that prefer
+     to keep prices hidden on the website. Only customers who have been granted portal access are
+     able to view their pricing.
 
 .. tip::
-   Similarly to the rest of the website, the customer account page can be customized with **content
-   blocks** and other features through the **website builder**.
-
-.. seealso::
-   :doc:`/applications/general/users/portal`
+   It is possible to configure a website form with a :guilabel:`Create a Customer` :ref:`action
+   <website/building_blocks/form>` to automatically create a customer record in the backend when
+   filled in.
 
 Access restriction
 ==================
 
-It is possible to allow or restrict the documents to which customers have access through the website
-builder. Log in your **own** account with your Odoo database credentials, and go to
-:menuselection:`Edit --> Customize`. From the website builder menu, enable or disable the documents
-customers can have access to.
+Once a customer account is created, it is still possible to adjust the access rights
+either globally or for individual users:
+
+- :ref:`Revoke access or re-invite a customer <portal/access>`
+  using the related buttons in the :guilabel:`Portal Access Management` pop-up.
+- Restrict :ref:`access to the shop <ecommerce/customer_accounts/shop-access>`;
+- Decide whether customers need to create an account to :ref:`complete the checkout
+  <ecommerce/customer_accounts/checkout-access>`.
+
+.. note::
+   Users can only have one :doc:`portal access <../../general/users/portal>` per email.
+
+.. tip::
+   It is also possible to define the types of documents customers have access to. To do so, open
+   the :doc:`website builder <../website/web_design>`, then enable or disable access to specific
+   documents as needed.

+     checkout and a B2B website that requires customers to sign in.

+     create an account to save their favorite items for later.
 
 Multi-website account
 =====================
 
-If you own multiple websites, you can make customer accounts available across **all** websites.
-Then, the customer only needs one account. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration
---> Settings --> Privacy section`, and enable :guilabel:`Shared Customer Accounts`.
+When managing multiple websites, it is possible to make customer accounts available across *all*
+websites, allowing each customer to use a single account. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website
+--> Configuration --> Settings`, in the :guilabel:` Privacy` section, enable :guilabel:`Shared
+Customer Accounts` option.
+
+.. note::
+   When operating both B2B and B2C online shops, it's recommended to use separate websites for each
+   business model.
