CEV PRO extends WooCommerce customer email verification with signup screening and additional points where customers can verify. In the standard registration flow, customers confirm access to their email with a one-time password (OTP) before an account is created. PRO adds address and signup checks, plus verification options for carts, checkout, and account access.

Review email addresses and signup risk

CEV PRO can block temporary and throwaway email providers across 430+ known domains. AI risk scoring assigns each signup a score from 0 to 100 before it becomes a customer, giving administrators another signal to review.

• AI temp-mail matching looks for newly appearing disposable domains.
• Bot-cluster detection looks for coordinated patterns across signups.
• DNS-based MX record validation checks whether an email domain has a working mail server before an OTP is sent.

Email OTP checks access to the submitted address. The screening utilities provide separate signals about the address and signup pattern.

Choose where customers verify

Stores can require guest customers to verify their email by OTP before completing checkout, or trigger verification from the cart page. Phone verification by SMS is also available instead of, or alongside, email, through MSG91, Twilio, Vonage, or WhatsApp.

For account access, login authentication can require an OTP for a new device, browser, or location, or after a set period of inactivity. Stores can also require OTP at every login. Two-factor authentication is available with Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator.

Set account and form rules

CEV PRO supports domain allowlists for B2B registration and address blocklists. Administrators can set different verification rules by visitor role. Paid-order gatekeeping can hold customer perks until the first paid order is complete.

Smart Form replaces WooCommerce’s default login and registration forms with branded layouts based on four ready-made templates. Login notification emails can alert customers whenever their account is accessed.

Manage verification settings and activity

Administrators can pick 4- or 6-digit OTP codes, set code expiry and resend limits, and tailor OTP email templates and verification popup styling. The WordPress Users panel supports manual verification and bulk resending of verification emails.

The verification analytics dashboard tracks signups, verification rates, failed attempts, and blocked spam over time. Other controls include reminder emails for unverified customers, scheduled cleanup of old verification logs, daily cleanup of stale unverified accounts, and an option to require all customers to verify again.

Compatibility and setup

Configure the verification methods and rules for the shop’s customer journey, then review the popup, email, OTP, and resend settings before enabling them. CEV PRO supports WooCommerce Block Checkout and is compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Polylang compatibility is included, alongside the existing WPML support.
