### 🔄 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.&#x20;
* 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**.&#x20;
* 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.&#x20;
* 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.&#x20;
* Useful if you want to vet registrations (e.g. wholesale, B2B, exclusive access, membership, etc.).
