User Guide of Magento 2 Email Verification

Magento 2 Email Verification helps store owners keep customer email information correct by checking email addresses at different steps in the shopping process.

 It works for all frontend email fields, including login, registration, checkout, newsletter sign-up, and contact forms.

This improves communication with customers and keeps the email list clean for sending order updates or marketing emails.

Admins can also manage accounts by locking or unlocking customers directly from the backend. This gives better control over who can use the store and helps prevent misuse.

Magento 2 Email Verification supports both guest users and registered customers.

It checks email addresses in real time to avoid mistakes that can lead to failed deliveries or customer service problems.

This module is a simple way to improve email quality, protect your store from spam, and build a trusted customer database.

You can also check out the Magento 2 Seller Badge Marketplace Add-on, which lets the admin assign badges to different sellers based on their performance.

Note: allow_url_fopen should be enabled. You can check this phpinfo() function.

• Email validation is now applied during customer login.
