The latest version is WooCommerce Customer Email Verification 3.0, Released on June 23, 2026
Here’s what’s changed in WooCommerce Customer Email Verification Version 3.0
* New - Added Paid-Order Gatekeeping option. When enabled, verified users remain in a restricted "pending paid order" state until their first WooCommerce order completes — preventing welcome-coupon abuse and stopping bot accounts from receiving promotional emails before they've bought anything. Includes new Verified column state, admin bulk override, and analytics tracking.
* New - Added "Force re-verify all customers" admin tool to mark every existing unverified user as unverified in a single action. Combined with the Login Authentication popup, this lets stores clean up legacy accounts after a spam attack or post-install. Available as a Tools-page button and as a WP Users list bulk action. Background-batched via Action Scheduler for large sites.
* New - Added Cart-Total Threshold Verification. Merchants can now configure OTP verification to trigger only when the cart subtotal or total exceeds a specified amount. Combines with Category-Specific Verification via OR logic. Multi-currency stores are normalised to the store base currency for comparison.
* New - Added Polylang compatibility alongside existing WPML support. All verification emails, popup messages, and admin notices are now translatable via Polylang's String Translations panel and delivered in the customer's preferred language.
* New - Added Smart Form — a unified, brand-customizable login/register form for the My Account page and any post or page via the cev_smart_form shortcode, with brand title, color, and panel customization.
* New - Added 4 ready-made Smart Form template layouts. Switch between layouts from the admin without touching code; each layout is fully responsive and inherits the customizer brand settings.
* New - Added flexible login + registration modes to Smart Form. Switch login between password and email OTP, and let customers register with either email or phone — all with built-in OTP verification.
* New - Added optional My Account takeover. When enabled, Smart Form replaces WooCommerce's default form-login.php on /my-account/ so the same branded login/register experience runs across the storefront.
* New - Added SMS verification gateways. Smart Form's phone-registration flow delivers OTP codes via your choice of MSG91, Twilio, Vonage, or WhatsApp Business — configurable per-site from the admin.
* Improvement - Redesigned the entire admin experience with the new Zorem UI design system (ZUI). Every screen — Settings, Unverified Users, Maintenance, Analytics, the Email Customizer, and the 2FA setup card — now shares a unified visual language: consistent typography, cards, sidebar navigation, table cells with avatars, snackbar toasts, confirmation modals, and inline tooltips. The same design language is shared across the wider Zorem plugin family for a familiar, polished merchant experience.
* Dev - Tested with WooCommerce 10.8.1
* Dev - Tested with WordPress 7.0
