There is no need to pass the default procedure with lots of fields. Note that it is possible to choose among 18 account types. And you can register a new account as normal or edit the newly created one. We describe all these and more features below, but let’s take a look at the extension’s backend first.

As for General Settings, they allow you to enable/disable the frontend functionality of the module, choose accounts position (Header, Above customer login form, Below customer login form, Above customer registration form, Below customer registration form, Show popup when click login), and specify shown direction (Left to Right or Right to Left). Besides, you can select a redirect page: it cn be a current page, a cart page, a home page, an account page, or a custom page (should be specified in a corresponding field).
