Unable to use json - templates under customers directory

Online Store and Theme Development

I’m trying to set up new store with my own theme for testing purposes. But it seems like templates from templates/customers directory are ignored.
They exist in the code that I upload, and when I download theme code. But they’re not shown in the theme editor

And, as well the routes for login, register, account redirect to urls like
https://shopify.com/1223455667/account
instead of
https://myshop.shopify.com/account

Also, when I try to create it in editor I cannot save it, the error is “file already exists”

Is this only happening with files in /customers? It’s possible this could be due to the new customer account pages which don’t use Liquid files.

Thanks. This is the case. Changing to “legacy” customer pages did the trick

For my curiousity; why downgrade to legacy accounts? What is the usecase? It will probably not be anytime soon, but some day I bet you’ll be forced to upgrade.

The thing is that I’m not downgrading to legacy accounts. My real store is using it. And I need the possibility to customize account and orders page. It’s confusing for me, that new accounts are not fully customizable

They are customizable, just in a more component- and extension-based way. However, there are definitely some restrictions. Hopefully, more edge cases will be supported in the future.

What feature do you need to support or migrate to the new methodology? Maybe we can help point you in the direction of relevant APIs.
