 * I have Word Press, WooCommerce and all plugins up to date. My question is: How
   are users created in my Ecommerce Store? And how are users different from customers?
 * Thank you,
 * Sharon

 * Hi Sharon,

 * Essentially, registered customers are users on your site.
 * When one registers an account through your WooCommerce store, they will be added
   as a user on your site and will have been assigned a **Customer** role. You should
   also be able to see and update their details from the **WP-Admin → Users** screen.
 * Here are some additional guides on users and roles:

 * Hope this helps, we’ll be happy to be of further assistance.
    Many thanks.
