email_verification_module

The Email Verification Module requires new customers to verify their email address before their account becomes active in PrestaShop. When a customer registers, the module sends a verification email containing a unique secure link and sets the account to inactive. The account is only activated once the customer clicks the verification link. This server-side approach operates independently of AJAX or JavaScript, making it straightforward and reliable.

• Sends a verification email with a unique token upon customer registration, in addition to PrestaShop's default account email
• Prevents login until email verification is completed via the secure link
• Stores customer IDs and tokens in a dedicated database table
• Includes error handling for invalid or expired verification links, with a custom error page
• Supports English translations and customizable email templates

This module is intended for PrestaShop store owners who want to reduce fake account registrations and improve the quality of their customer database by ensuring only valid email addresses are used at signup. It is a practical open-source alternative for small businesses or hobbyists who need email verification functionality without the cost of paid solutions. Note: a known issue exists where the registration page does not redirect automatically after signup, though this does not affect the verification or account activation process.
