Hi,

I'm currently rebuilding part of my small business website and I'm trying to find the simplest way to handle the customer account area.

My setup is:

• WordPress
• WooCommerce
• Astra (free)
• Elementor (free)

For now, I only need a very simple customer account area where users can:

• Register / log in
• See their current orders
• See their past orders
• Access order details
• See parcel/shipping tracking information
• Log out

In the future, I may also want to add a Downloads section for customers, but that's not essential right now.

I'm wondering what the best approach would be.

Should I simply use and customize the default WooCommerce “My Account” page, or would you recommend using a free plugin to create/manage the customer dashboard?

Ideally, I'd like the header/account button to behave logically too:

Logged out: “Log in / Register”
Logged in: “My Account”

I'm trying to keep things simple and avoid adding unnecessary plugins, but at the same time I'd like the account area to look a bit nicer and be easier to customize than the default WooCommerce page.

I'm only using free versions of Astra and Elementor, so I'm specifically looking for a free solution (no Elementor Pro, Astra Pro, etc.).

What would you recommend? Stick with WooCommerce's built-in account system and customize it, or use a free plugin?

Thanks!
