Checkout Verification Sends Codes Even When Disabled

Table of Contents

Problem description #

Admins report that even when checkout verification is disabled, codes are still being sent, or they expect checkout verification for logged-in users but it doesn’t behave that way.

Symptoms:

  • Codes appear on checkout despite setting disabled.
  • Codes are not sent for logged-in users even though admin expects it.

Typical causes:

  • Feature scope: the checkout verification PRO feature is intended for guest users only; logged-in users may not be supported or behave differently. WordPress.org
  • Misunderstanding of setting location (global vs PRO options).

Solution (step-by-step)

  1. Confirm plugin setting: In WooCommerce → Email Verification, check Checkout verification setting and whether it requires PRO.
  2. Understand scope: Note that the plugin author clarified checkout verification is designed for guest users; logged-in users typically aren’t prompted on checkout. If you need logged-in verification on checkout, request the feature from the author. WordPress.org
  3. If codes still sent despite setting disabled: Update plugin to latest, clear caches, and re-check settings. If issue persists, take screenshots of settings and open a support thread including site URL.
  4. If this is a bug introduced in a release: The author has fixed similar setting behavior in patches, update plugin to the latest version. WordPress.org

Prerequisites

  • Access to plugin settings and knowledge whether you have PRO features.

Additional notes

  • If you rely on checkout verification for logged-in users, document this as a feature request to the plugin author (they have a feedback board).
