StarterStore Account Component

Synopsis

AccountFormComponent is a built-in HstComponent to manage the customer's account in Starter Store applications.

Given a visitor is authenticated, an account management link can be provided for the customer.

AccountFormComponent processes the account management requests by invoking the commerce backend REST APIs such as commercetools HTTP API - Customers.
