Login

The first thing your customers face when they start their online shopping journey is the Login page of your Sana webstore. Registration is the first step that indicates the trust of your customers to your webstore. Intuitive and simple steps, good-looking design help to log in to your webstore easily. To log in to the Sana webstore, a customer should enter a shop account’s e-mail and a password.

You can add a Login system page to any webstore navigation you need. Customers can log in to the webstore and log out using the Account menu content element in the webstore header. For more information, see Account Menu (Desktop and Tablet) and Account Menu (Mobile).

Edit Content of the Login Page

The Login page is a system page that exists in Sana by default, but you can also change the content and styles of the Login page if you want to look it different.

To edit the content of the Login page, in Sana Admin click: Web pages > System pages. On the System pages page, you can see all available system pages and you can edit the Login system page.

The Desktop and Mobile tabs hold the content elements of the Login page that are shown on the desktop and mobile devices. Thus, the Login page can be styled differently for the desktop and mobile devices.

There are several default content elements on the Login page which you can edit. The default content elements on the Login page are:

  • Page title

  • Sana text

  • Login form

  • Create account

  • Guest checkout

The availability of content elements on the Login page depends on whether you have a B2B, B2C or B2X webstore and related features:

  • The Login form content element is the only content element which is always available on the Login page.

  • Store type – private, public and closed.

  • Whether B2B and / or B2C online customer registration and guest checkout are enabled or not.

Also, you can add and remove various content elements on the Login page as well as use the content management system of Sana with the page layouts, row and column settings to create high quality and impressive design for the Login page.

Using the Revert to default button you can revert any changes you have made to the page and start from scratch.
