How to create a Shopify Log Out Link

Time needed: 5 minutes

Many Shopify themes don’t include a Log Out button.

And if your theme doesn’t include one, don’t worry, there’s a very easy fix

1. Know what the Shopify Log Out Link is

   The first step to adding a Shopify Log Out Link is knowing how Shopify Logs customers out.
   
   Just as this is the Log In URL: https://myshop.com/account/login
   
   Similarly, there is a log out URL that when someone visits it and is logged in, it automatically logs them out
   
   The Shopify Log Out Link is: https://myshop.com/account/logout
   
   So, here’s your code to include :
   
   <a href="account/logout">Log Out</a>

2. Locate the Shopify “My Account” Page

   Next step, let’s add the link to the “My Account” page
   
   To find this page you’ll need to head over to the customers/account.liquid file which you can find from the left menu
   
   Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code
   
   
   
   Heads up! It’s a very good idea to duplicate your current theme before making any modifications
   
   You can then search to find the customers/account.liquid file
   
   

3. Decide where to place the Log Out Link

   Ok, let’s take a look at our current “My Account” page to see where to place our link
   
   I think below the “View Addresses” button would be great!
   
   

4. Add in the code

   With a bit of investigative work, I can find in the code that it is located on line 54 (your’s will probably be different!)
   
   So I’m going to paste in the code right below, taking care that it’s placed before the closing </div> tag.
   
   
   

5. Check everything works

   Et voila! Our Log Out link is on the account page!
   
   
   
   Now your customers can log out from your Shopify shop!
