Shopify API 2026 – Create An Account Activation URL For A Disabled Customer

Table of Contents

In Shopify, create an account activation URL for a disabled customer will allow the invited customer to transition from disabling the account to enabling the account by that URL. The customer needs to create a password to activate the account.

The account activation URL will be valid for once time use and will expire after 30 days.

Activating the account is very important because the Customer’s information is secure, and the payment process is fast.

So, in this article, Beehexa will help you create an account activation URL for a disabled customer.

Step 1: Generate API credentials from the Shopify admin

Generate API credentials from the Shopify admin

 

The Admin API section displays the app’s API key and password when you save the app’s details. 

 

https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json

Or you can copy this example in the Shopify Admin, remember to change {resource} to {customers/{customer_id}/account_activation_url}:

https://33a72f01e02987636e1c1a9a4e95c840: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@hexasync.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/customers/5568649265215/account_activation_url.json

customer_id=5568649265215

You can copy the customer ID after creating a customer using postman, or you can choose a customer in the Shopify Admin and choose a disabled customer that you want to activate. Then copy the customer ID in the URL.
