WooCommerce Customers Verification

WooCommerce Customers Verification plugin allows the store owner to sell the products to only verified customers for the security purposes of the content.

For verification and customer authentication, the customers need to upload their identity proof while registering on the website. Furthermore, the customer can also upload their document from their customer dashboard under the “Account details” menu.

The store admin verifies customer identity and can approve or reject the customer to do shopping from the website.

The customer can upload the identity directly from the website or through mobile as well.

If WordPress WooCommerce users can register or log in to the WooCommerce Store using WhatsApp OTP Authentication, they can check WooCommerce WhatsApp OTP Login.
