Email Verifier

Email Verifier is an essential security module that provides an extra layer of protection to your WHMCS platform by verifying client email addresses before they can make purchases. With the increase in fraudulent activities, this module helps protect your business from fake registrations, fraudulent orders, and potential chargebacks.

How It Works

The Email Verifier module checks email addresses in real-time during the registration and checkout process. It validates the email format, checks if the domain exists, and verifies that the email address is active and can receive emails. Clients must verify their email addresses before they can access the checkout page or certain client area pages (if configured). The module can also check against a database of disposable email providers and block them automatically.

When a client changes their email address, you can optionally require them to verify the new email again. The module includes comprehensive ban management, allowing you to ban specific email addresses or IP addresses that are causing problems. All verification activities are logged for security and audit purposes.
