# Customer Registration

## How it works

You will add the shortcode to your page and a user can create an account if they don't already have one. If no WordPress user or North Commerce customer exist, the system will create the user along with the North Commerce customer and connect them together. 

If a North Commerce customer exists and the new WordPress user email matches the customer it will connect them.

```
[commerce-signup submit_button="Create Account →" redirect="site_url"]
```

{% hint style="info" %}
More verification and security rules are coming soon for account creation for existing WordPress users or North Commerce customers. Currently there isn't a mechanism implemented to connect an existing WordPress user to a new North Commerce customer. 
{% endhint %}
