After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Create New Account Options

Set up the basic customer account options

  1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration.

  2. In the left panel, expand Customers and choose Customer Configuration.

  3. Expand Expansion selector the Create New Account Options section and do the following:

    • Set Default Group to the customer group that is assigned to new customers when an account is created.

    • If you have a Value Added Tax number and want it to be visible to customers, set Show VAT Number on Storefront to Yes.

    • Enter the Default Email Domain for the store, such as mystore.com

    • Set Default Welcome Email to the template that is used for the Welcome email sent to new customers.

    • Set Default Welcome Email without Password to the template that is used when a customer account is created that does not yet have a password. For example, a customer account created from the Admin does not yet have a password assigned.

    • Set Email Sender to the store contact that appears as the sender of the Welcome email.

    • To require that customers confirm their request to open an account with your store, set Require Emails Confirmation to Yes. Then, set Confirmation Link Email to the template that is used for the confirmation email.
