BSS Commerce Magento 2 Login as Customer

Allow administrators to securely log into customer accounts for faster support

The Magento 2 Login as Customer extension by BSS Commerce enables store administrators to access customer accounts directly from the backend without requiring the customer’s password. With just one click, admins can log into a customer’s account on the storefront to view exactly what the customer sees.

This capability is extremely useful for troubleshooting issues related to orders, carts, checkout processes, or account settings. Instead of requesting screenshots or detailed explanations from customers, support teams can immediately access the account and resolve problems faster.

By simplifying the support process, the extension helps merchants deliver more efficient customer service while saving time for both administrators and shoppers. It also improves operational efficiency by allowing store managers to verify customer activities and test the shopping experience from the user’s perspective.
