# Self-Registration

Use self-registration to invite new visitors to join your Experience Cloud site. When new users access your site’s login page, they see a self-registration option that leads them to a page where they can sign up. Depending on your use case, you can configure self-registration for business accounts, which allows users to register themselves as contacts under an account associated with a company. Or you can configure self-registration for person accounts to support a business-to-consumer (B2C) model where users register as individuals.

Note

To avoid unexpected errors or delays, keep platform [limits](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_gov_limits.htm) in mind when you customize your self-registration Apex logic. If your site has a lot of traffic, we recommend you [configure asynchronous self-registration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.exp_cloud_high_volume_self_reg_apex.htm&language=en_US). This allows multiple users to self-register at the same time.

Implement self-registration for these use cases.

## Self-Registration for Business Accounts

If multiple users want to register as part of an organization, you can configure self-registration to associate them with a business account in Salesforce. When these users visit your site login page, they can self-register by entering their information, such as their name and email address. This information attaches them as contacts to the business account.

## Self-Registration for B2C

If your company serves B2C users, use self-registration to save users under person accounts. With person accounts, users can self-register as individuals rather than as contacts of a larger business account.

    Depending on your use case, decide which account type you want new users to be saved under when they self-register.
- **[Configure Self-Registration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_identity_self_registration_configure.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    After you set up an account for your new customers, configure self-registration for your site.
