📜 Detailed Overview

This plugin introduces a friction-light, security-first verification step that fits naturally into the WooCommerce account flow. Upon signup (or guest checkout, if enabled), customers receive a branded email containing a secure, time-bound link or code. Until verified, you can optionally block checkout, restrict account access, or keep the user in a “pending” state. This stops disposable or mistyped emails from polluting your CRM, reduces chargeback risk linked to fraudulent signups, and improves sender reputation by lowering hard bounces.

Store owners gain full control: customize the verification message, auto-send reminders, and decide what happens to unverified accounts after a grace period. The plugin is light, fast, and built to play nicely with caching and common email services (SMTP, transactional providers). Result: cleaner lists, fewer support tickets, and a smoother customer experience.
