# Account Approval for Individual Accounts

Fixed individual account registrations not being held for approval when approval was switched on.

**This includes:**

* Individual registrations now held as pending when approval is required

**How it benefits the Merchant**

If you require new accounts to be approved, that control was not being applied to individual registrations, so those customers could use the store immediately. Approval now applies as configured.

**Potential FAQs**

Q: Where do I set this?

A: Under Store Settings > Customer Accounts & Sign-Up > Sign-up fields, using the Approval setting. You can choose which account types require approval and who is notified.
