User Guide for Magento 2 XML Sitemap Extension

Logging in to customer accounts allows you to tackle issues faster and to help customers with their requests more effectively. Our Login as Customer App facilitates the process and allows you to log in as customer without a password.

But what if customers' accounts don't have a password, like Shopify B2B accounts?

That's what you'll find out in this guide. We'll walk you through detailed steps on how to log in to B2B customer accounts in Shopify in a few clicks. 

However, let's start with the basics.

How Does B2B Login Work in Shopify? 

Unlike a traditional Shopify login with email and password, logging in to B2B Shopify accounts requires a unique 6-digit code. So a customer goes to the login page, enters their email, receives a 6-digit code to that email and enters in on Shopify login. 

The process is a little bit complicated, making it even more difficult to assist those customers (if they have any issues with their accounts or order placement).

But there's a solution.

How to Log in

The default Shopify SEO features are rarely enough to create a consistent and effective strategy. Sure, the XML sitemap, meta tags, redirects, and others are vital. Yet, you'll need some additional tools for ultimate results.

Plenty of Shopify apps cover the blind spots, as well as enhance the default functionality. At the same time, there are so many options it's difficult to select the right tool.

So, today we'll explore the best Shopify SEO apps and see what they have to offer. Hopefully, this list will help you find the right solution for your store.

New Extension Releases

Every time you need to do some testing, roll out an update or fix a bug, you need to enable the Magento 2 maintenance mode. It initiates the display of the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" messages across all your website pages.

So, regardless of other Magento modes, the maintenance mode causes the most inconvenience for both merchants and users. Especially if they don't know what that mode is about.

That's why today you'll get all the answers about what is Magento maintenance mode, why it matters and how to use it properly. We'll also share some secrets about enabling maintenance mode in Magento without downtime.

Intrigued? Let's get started!
