Whenever you go online to purchase something, most of the time you have to set up an account with that company. That is so that if you purchase many things, the company knows who to bill and where to send the product to. However, many businesses want people to set up accounts so that they can track the data that was purchased and who purchased it. Then they will know what changes they should make for the future.
Therefore, most businesses offer accounts especially those that sell products or things on the internet. An account usually requires the person to fill out information about themselves including their full name, email address and their mailing address. Sometimes, people can save their credit card information on their account.
