## Add custom tab in customer account in magento 2.
In Magento 2, after login or signup customer will be redirected to their account dashboard . There are many tabs on left side such as *Account Dashboard ,My Orders ,My Downloadable Products ,My Wish List ,Billing Agreements* etc. So If we need to enhance customer shopping experience or to display some information, I will show you how add new custom tab there. You can also hire [**Magento 2 developers**](https://dolphinwebsolution.com/magento-2-development) from Dolphin Web Solution.
Follow the below steps.
#### Step 1: Create customer\_account.xml
File Path: app/code/Dolphin/CustaccountTab/view/frontend/layout/customer\_account.xml
```
custaccounttab/customer/index
Dolphin Custom Tab
```
#### Step 2: Create custaccounttab\_customer\_index.xml
File Path: app/code/Dolphin/CustaccountTab/view/frontend/layout/custaccounttab\_customer\_index.xml
```
Dolphin Custom Tab
```
#### Step 3: Create routes.xml
File Path: app/code/Dolphin/CustaccountTab/etc/frontend/routes.xml
```
```
#### Step 4: Create Index.php
File Path: app/code/Dolphin/CustaccountTab/Controller/Customer/Index.php
```
_view->loadLayout();
$this->_view->renderLayout();
}
}
```
#### Step 5: Create customtab.phtml
File Path: app/code/Dolphin/CustaccountTab/view/frontend/templates/customer/account/customtab.phtml
```
