customer accounts

We mentioned the possibility for a customer to create an account, in order to avoid having to fill in his name, address, customer type every time he/she creates a basket.

Should we do it?

Pros:

  • it makes it possible to implement additional features for the customer, such as having a list of previous baskets/orders
  • it indeed avoids having to enter the same information every time

Cons:

  • more things to implement
  • it doesn't decrease the amount of information substantially: instead of name + email + postal address + customer type, the customer will have to provide email + password
  • lots of unknowns on how to manage the authentication (custom? delegated to keycloak? how to distinguish customer users from INRA users?)
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
