Integration with Email Verification

When the Email Verification feature is enabled:

1. Password fields are automatically handled by Email Verification
2. Users set their own password during registration
3. Core password fields are skipped in Registration Form to prevent duplication
4. Verification email is sent after registration

This ensures a seamless experience without duplicate password fields.

Emails tab

The current dashboard includes an Emails tab. Turn Welcome Email on or off there. It is sent after successful registration. Pro adds Customize Email, which opens the shared email editor for subject, heading, body, preheader, additional content, branding preview, and a test send. Keep useful placeholders such as {{user_name}}, {{user_login}}, {{site_name}}, and {{login_link}} in the message where relevant. Save the email editor and the feature settings, then test a registration.

More Settings controls

CAPTCHA Protection lets you require the Swift Commerce CAPTCHA feature on the registration forms you configure. Set up and test the CAPTCHA provider separately before turning this on. Role Assignment (Pro) assigns a default role and can apply field-based rules to assign a role when a selected field, condition, and value match. These rules affect account permissions: use only roles appropriate for public sign-up, and test a new account after changes.

Display Settings choose where the form appears; Layout Settings control the form layout, columns, spacing, and label position; Behavior Settings control the post-registration destination. Verify each enabled WordPress and WooCommerce surface rather than assuming one setting applies to every form.

Final checks

• Register on each enabled surface and confirm field order, required-field validation, account role, welcome email, and redirect.
• If Email Verification is also enabled for the same surface, choose which feature controls fields in Email Verification → Settings. Test the password and verification/approval flow together.
• For file-upload fields, verify allowed file types, size limits, and the resulting account data before making the form public.
