We recently helped a client enhance their WooCommerce store by requiring users to verify their email before their account is created.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐?
By default, WooCommerce allows users to register and log in immediately, without verifying their email. Even with Google reCAPTCHA enabled, the client still received spam and fake registrations, which can cause security risks and clutter the user database.
๐ข๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
๐ Prevent fake or spam account registrations by holding account creation until email verification is complete.
โ๏ธ Sends a secure, personalized verification email with a one-click confirmation link.
โณ Verification tokens expire after 48 hours for extra security
๐ค Uses WooCommerceโs native customer creation to trigger welcome emails seamlessly.
This simple yet powerful tweak improved user trust, boosted data quality, and helped our client maintain a secure and streamlined registration process.
