# Admin Controls for Customizing Email Verification in WooCommerce

Email Verification Pro lets you control how verification emails are sent and what they say. You choose the mail function (wc_mail() is recommended), whether to delay the WooCommerce "Customer new account" email until verification, the template and wrap method, and the subject, heading and content of the activation, confirmation and admin emails.

**Email Verification Pro** offers a robust set of options to manage email communication for user verification. This guide dives into these options, empowering you to craft a seamless user experience.

#### **Mail Function**

- Choose the email sending method: PHP's mail(), WooCommerce's wc_mail(), or WordPress's wp_mail(). WooCommerce's wc_mail() function is generally recommended for optimal integration.

#### **Customer New Account Email**

- **Delay Email:** Decide if the standard WooCommerce "Customer new account" email should only be sent after successful verification.
- **Template:** Select the email template format (Plain, WooCommerce, or Smart).

#### **WC Email Template**

- **Email Verification Plugin:** Use the plugin's built-in templates or create new ones in WooCommerce > Emails.

#### **Email Wrap Method**

- **Manual:** Craft your own email header and footer using HTML.
- **Native:** Leverage WooCommerce's WC_Emails::wrap_message() function for a consistent look.

#### **Common Placeholders**

- Enhance your email content with placeholders like %user_email% or %site_title% to personalize communication.

#### **Activation Email**

#### **This email contains a verification link and is sent upon user registration**

- **Separate Email:** Choose to send it independently or append it to the **"Customer new account"** email.
- **Trigger:** Specify when to send the email - on user registration or after WooCommerce creates the customer.
- **Delay:** Optionally delay sending the activation email to avoid reaching already authenticated users.
- **Customization:** Craft the email subject, content, and heading.
- **Fine-Tune Placement:** (For appended emails) Define where the activation content appears within the **"Customer** **new account"** email (requires code modification).

#### **Confirmation Email**

- **Send on Verification:** Choose to send an email confirming successful account verification.
- **Manual Verification:** Optionally send confirmation when an admin manually verifies a user.
- **Customization:** Craft the email subject, heading, content, and delay settings.

#### **Admin Email**

- **Send on Verification:** Choose to send an email notification to the admin when a user verifies their email.
- **Manual Verification:** Optionally send an email when an admin manually verifies a user.
- **Customization:** Define the recipient email, subject, heading, and content.

By effectively utilizing these email options, you can build a clear and informative communication flow for user verification within your WooCommerce store.
