Product Description
The Email Verification For WHMCS adds a code-based email confirmation step to new customer registration and checkout. Before continuing, the customer receives a verification code at the email address entered in WHMCS and must submit the correct code through a verification window.
Verification messages are delivered through the mail provider already configured in WHMCS using an installed email template. This keeps the workflow inside your existing WHMCS mail environment without requiring a separate email-verification API.
Each generated code remains valid for ten minutes. Unverified email attempts are stored for administrator review, while successfully registered customers have their WHMCS user email-verification timestamp updated automatically.
How It Works
- Customer Enters an Email: A new customer begins registration or reaches the WHMCS checkout page.
- Verification Is Requested: The standard continue button is replaced with an email-confirmation action.
- Code Is Generated: The module creates a 10-character verification code for the supplied email address.
- Email Is Sent: WHMCS delivers the code using the Custom Email Verification template and configured mail provider.
- Customer Enters the Code: The submitted code is checked against the stored email record and creation time.
- Verification Succeeds: A valid code confirms the email in the customer’s current session.
- Registration or Checkout Continues: The original WHMCS action becomes available after successful confirmation.
Key Features

- Checkout Verification: Add the email confirmation flow to the WHMCS cart checkout page.
- Verification Codes: Generate a random 10-character code containing uppercase letters and numbers.
- Ten-Minute Validity: Reject submitted codes after the configured code window has elapsed.
- Resend Experience: Let the customer request another code after the on-screen countdown finishes.
- WHMCS Mail Delivery: Use the active WHMCS PHP Mail, SMTP, or configured mail-provider module.
- Custom Email Template: Install a dedicated verification email that can be managed through WHMCS.
- Session Confirmation: Match the verified email with the email used for the current registration or checkout.
