Allowing customers to access their private information
The Members Area interacts with many different business solutions, like Wix Stores or Wix Bookings. By signing up to your site, members get access to pages with all their previous info so they're encouraged to keep engaging.
If you're using Wix Stores, for example, a My Orders page is automatically added to your Member's Area so customers can keep track of their previous purchases. Another example is the My Wallet page where members can view and update their credit cards.
