How Do I Change the Default Account in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:19 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to run your online store, you’re probably aware that there are different user roles that you can assign to people who access your site. By default, WooCommerce comes with two user roles: “customer” and “administrator”.

You can change the default user role in WooCommerce by going to the “Settings” page and then selecting the “Accounts” tab. From there, you’ll see a drop-down menu labeled “Default Customer Role”. By default, this is set to “Customer”, but you can change it to “Administrator” if you want.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, changing the default account in WooCommerce can lead to unexpected charges on your credit card.

It’s important to note that changing the default user role will only affect new users who are created after the change is made. So if you have an existing user base, you’ll need to manually update their user roles to reflect the new default.

In conclusion, changing the default user role in WooCommerce is a relatively simple process. Just keep in mind that it will only affect new users, so you may need to take some additional steps if you have an existing user base.
