- Left panel — the menu canvas: your account menu drawn the way customers see it.

FAQs
↑ Back to topHelp customers by answering commonly asked questions.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
No. Activate, open WooCommerce → Account Dashboard, use the canvas and Design Studio. How to use covers each feature; default endpoints already work.
Will it work with my theme?
Yes for typical WooCommerce themes (Storefront, most block themes). Uses WooCommerce hooks, not theme template copies. Very custom account templates: quick check after install.
Can I add my own account pages with custom URLs?
Yes — endpoint + slug + Classic/block content. Slugs are checked so you don’t break the store.
Where do I change colours and layout?
In WooCommerce → Account Dashboard → Design (the Design Studio). You edit beside a live preview at desktop, tablet and phone widths. Nothing goes live until you save. Menu structure and content live under Menu Items.
Can customers upload their own profile picture?
Yes, once you enable it in Design → Profile card. Uploads are limited to common image types, checked against a size limit you set, and verified as real images. The picture then replaces the Gravatar site-wide.
Can different customers get different menus?
Yes. On Menu Items, add a menu for a customer group (for example wholesale or members). It starts as a copy of the main menu; remove or reorder items as needed. Item settings stay shared, and everyone else keeps the main menu.
Can customers cancel or return orders themselves?
Yes, when enabled under Settings → Orders & privacy. Customers can cancel orders that have not shipped (within the hours you allow) and request returns on completed orders with a reason and optional photo. You answer each return on the Returns tab; the customer is emailed.
Does Buy again let customers reorder anything?
No. It only offers products that customer purchased on a completed order, and it re-checks purchase history, stock and your store’s normal add-to-cart validation on every request.
Can I rearrange what appears on the dashboard?
Yes. In Design → Dashboard → Arrange the dashboard, drag the greeting, heading, account numbers, profile meter, shortcut tiles, order tracking, Buy again and other widgets into any order, or hide any of them. The preview updates as you drag.
Can I put the account menu somewhere else on the site?
Yes. Use the
[acfw_account_menu]shortcode, the Account Menu block, or the Account Menu widget. Classic themes also get My Account items under Appearance → Menus.
Can I hide or rename the default WooCommerce account pages?
Yes — rename, switch off, reorder, or nest in a group. Off items stay dimmed so you can restore them.
Can I add my own account pages with custom URLs?
Yes — endpoint + slug + Classic/block content. Slugs are checked so you don’t break the store.
Is there a guide inside the plugin?
Yes — How to use in the header; searchable, opens on the current tab.
Can I control who sees each menu item?
Yes — by role, dates, products bought, order count, total spent, or time since last order.
Who is this for?
Stores that want a branded My Account without a developer: clearer menus, self-service, Buy again / offers, Design Studio. One plugin — no SaaS, no paid add-ons for the listed features.
