Account options
You can decide how customer accounts are handled when someone submits a registration form. This guide will show you how to set up these options for both new and existing forms.
When you create or edit s Registration form in the app, you will see a section that allows you to configure the form’s account options.
There are 3 options:
Automatically create customer
Immediately creates or updates a Shopify customer account when the form is submitted.
Send email invite
Sends a Shopify account invite to the user — they must click the invite link to activate their account.
Require account approval
Holds the submission for review. You must manually approve the account before it’s created in Shopify.

🔄 What Each Account Option Does
✅ Automatically Create Customer
As soon as the user submits the form, a Shopify customer account is created (or updated if the email already exists).
The user can then log in immediately.
Shopify will send the standard “Customer account welcome” email automatically.
Recommended when you want instant registration, quick access, or simple account setup.
✉️ Send Email Invite
Instead of creating the account immediately, the system sends an invite email.
The user must click the link in the email to confirm and activate their account.
Good for verifying the user’s email, reducing fake/spam accounts, or ensuring consent.
📝 Require Account Approval
The form submission is held in pending status, no account is created yet.
You (the store owner) manually review the submission and decide whether to approve or reject.
Once approved, the account is created and an invite email is sent to the user.
Useful if you want to vet registrations (e.g. wholesale, B2B, exclusive access, membership, etc.).
