Account Membership Settings allow Account Members to be associated to, at most, N accounts at a time. You can set this value to any number up to 10,000. The default value is 10,000. This setting is only applied to new account memberships. If an account member is added to 3 accounts, and the setting is reduced to 1, the account member remains in the 3 accounts and can no longer be added to more.

title: Account Management Introduction Account Membership Settings API
description: 'An Account represents the entity that participates in a Commerce transaction. Accounts can have Carts, Orders,
Subscriptions, and Addresses.
Each account can have multiple account members, which represent users and can transact on behalf of the account.
In a typical B2C scenario, an account usually has a single account member. However, this functionality can also be
used to support use cases such as family accounts, allowing multiple family members to transact on behalf of their
shared account. In a B2B scenario, an account will have multiple members from a business unit, all of whom can
transact on behalf of their organization.
Accounts can be grouped together using Account Tags, and those tags can be used to apply discounts and promotions.
## Accounts vs Customers
Accounts is the next generation of [Customers](/docs/customer-management/customers). Customers are not going
anywhere, but accounts offers more capabilities. We recommend using Accounts for any of your new use cases.
