2026-06-23 – version 3.0
* New – Added Paid-Order Gatekeeping option. When enabled, verified users remain in a restricted “pending paid order” state until their first WooCommerce order completes — preventing welcome-coupon abuse and stopping bot accounts from receiving promotional emails before they’ve bought anything. Includes new Verified column state, admin bulk override, and analytics tracking.
* New – Added “Force re-verify all customers” admin tool to mark every existing unverified user as unverified in a single action. Combined with the Login Authentication popup, this lets stores clean up legacy accounts after a spam attack or post-install. Available as a Tools-page button and as a WP Users list bulk action. Background-batched via Action Scheduler for large sites.
* New – Added Cart-Total Threshold Verification. Merchants can now configure OTP verification to trigger only when the cart subtotal or total exceeds a specified amount. Combines with Category-Specific Verification via OR logic. Multi-currency stores are normalised to the store base currency for comparison.
* New – Added Polylang compatibility alongside existing WPML support. All verification emails, popup messages, and admin notices are now translatable via Polylang’s String Translations panel and delivered in the customer’s preferred language.,* Feature – Disposable / temporary email blocking (~3,000 bundled domains, admin-defined add list, customizable rejection message)
