Hello PrestaShop Community, I’m excited to share a free Email Verification Module for PrestaShop 8.2.1, designed to enhance customer registration security by requiring email verification. This module was born out of a need for an affordable solution. Thanks to the power of Grok3, created by xAI, I was able to develop and debug this module efficiently! Overview: The <code>emailverification</code> module ensures new customers verify their email address before their account is activated. Upon registration at <code>yourshopurl.com/index.php?controller=authentication&amp;amp;create_account=1</code>, it sends a custom verification email with a unique link, sets the customer’s <code>active=0</code>, and activates the account (<code>active=1</code>) when the link is clicked. It integrates seamlessly with PrestaShop’s registration process, using server-side logic to avoid reliance on AJAX or JavaScript. Key Features: - Sends a verification email alongside PrestaShop’s default <code>account</code> email. - Prevents login until email is verified via a secure token. - Creates a <code>ps_email_verification</code> table to store customer IDs and tokens. - Includes error handling for invalid/expired links with a custom error page. - Supports English translations and customizable email templates. - Lightweight and compatible with PrestaShop 8.x. GitHub Repository: You can find the full module, including all files and a detailed tutorial, on GitHub: https://github.com/kkula9999/emailverification. The repository includes the module’s code, folder structure, and a step-by-step guide to set it up. Why This Module?: Many email verification modules on the PrestaShop Addons Marketplace costy OR the free module was obsoleted, which can be prohibitive for small businesses or hobbyists. This free, open-source alternative delivers the same core functionality—secure email verification—without the hefty price tag. It’s a straightforward, server-side solution that I built to address my own needs and share with the community. Known Issue: After registration, the
