# Why do I need to create a customer account to purchase a Furka-Abo?

Through your account, you always have full oversight of your purchased products. You can see exactly when you used the car transport and how many trips remain on your subscription. If the barrier does not open automatically, you can use the QR code in your wallet to open it manually.

For changes such as adjusting or adding license plates, as well as for refunds after purchase and during the validity of the subscription, customer identification is required.
