WooCommerce Phone Verification on Checkout & SMS Order Notifications 2.9
Description
WooCommerce Phone Verification on Checkout & SMS Order Notifications is a WordPress plugin that strengthens WooCommerce checkout by verifying a customer’s phone number during the purchase flow. Instead of relying on the default phone field, the plugin replaces it with RingCaptcha’s phone verification widget. This helps stop fake or mistyped numbers from reaching your order system, reducing the likelihood of fraudulent submissions.
It also adds SMS-based order notifications so key events are communicated via text messages, improving internal responsiveness and checkout trust. For store owners using WordPress with WooCommerce themes and templates, the plugin focuses on straightforward integration to streamline verification and support faster order processing.
