Guide: Display downloads in the New Customer Accounts - Go to Guide


Deliver on the Main account page and on the Order account page
Does not require code snippets. Simply add the Fileflare App Blocks in Shopify's editor

Difference between Legacy and New:



We recommend using Legacy Customer Accounts. We find that they are more presentable because they are integrated into your store better by being on the same domain and part of your store's theme styling, unlike the New Customer Accounts. Learn more about the differences below.

Fileflare delivery differences:


In the Legacy Accounts, you can deliver downloads on the Main account page.
In the New Accounts, you can deliver downloads on the Main account page, and the Order account page.

Pros and cons:
