Signup, being the starting point in a user's shopping experience, is considered a major tipping point in e-commerce. We offer a light-weight onboarding experience and collects only minimal information from your shoppers such as email (which serves as the username), full name, and password. In response, the user details are retrieved along with the system generated user ID (represented as _Id), which is required for subsequent calls (specially customer-context calls).

From the store perspective, you will benefit from the key customer details. This will help you in your personalisation efforts to provide a unified shopping experience.
