Version:

Create a user profile and then log in through the Sitecore API.

In your Visual Studio Solution setup:

Reference the Sitecore.Commerce.Connect.CommerceServer and Sitecore.Commerce.dll.
Pick the class in your solution where you would like to create and log in a user.

To create the user profile, copy and paste the following code:

var customerServiceProvider = new Sitecore.Commerce.Services.Customers.CustomerServiceProvider();
var userName = @"CommerceUsers\testUser";
var password = @"mY_P@ssw0rd";
var email = @"[email protected]";
var shopName = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name;
 
// create the user
var result = customerServiceProvider.CreateUser(new Sitecore.Commerce.Services.Customers.CreateUserRequest(userName, password, email, shopName));
 
if (result.CommerceUser != null)
{
    // if the user was created, log in the user
    var isLoggedIn = Sitecore.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationManager.Login(userName, password, false);
