Purpose:

To explain how all new customers who sign-up for an account through your ecommerce storefront will be assigned to a specific customer category.

Solution:

Select System (horizontal top menu) / Configuration.
Go to the Customers section, and then click on the Customer Configuration tab.
Expand the Create New Account Options panel.
Under the Default Group drop box, select the group you want all customers to default to when they sign-up.
Save your changes.

TIP: If you do business with retailers and wholesalers, you might consider making a "general" customer group to default to and then incorporate checking this group daily to reassign their customer group to the appropriate one.
