# Customer Accounts

Auction Plus requires Shopify customer accounts for bidding and for customers to complete payment on won or accepted items.

***

## New Customer Accounts (Default Since July 2024)

Shopify's new customer accounts use one-time email codes instead of passwords. If your store uses new customer accounts, add a link to the Ready for Checkout page in the customer account navigation so auction winners can easily find their won items.

See [Adding an Auctions Link to Customer Accounts](/customers-and-bidders/adding-an-auctions-link-to-customer-accounts.md) for step-by-step instructions.

***

## Legacy Customer Accounts

With legacy accounts (email + password login), the Ready for Checkout page is automatically added to the customer account navigation.
