How to prevent fake domains in my checkout

Technical Q&A
1

Hi everyone,

I need a tool or an app to stop customers from using fake emails or fake domains and to check them before they place an order.

One of my customers recently used (name)@gmai.com, for example.

Is there a way to validate the email before the customer completes the order?
Does anyone know a good solution for this?

Thank you so much

Require sign in is the only way to “validate” an email address before an order is placed.

Other things like location/IP blockers, checkout rules that block certain email domains, places, addresses, or names, Shopify Flow, and switch to manual payment capture, are all part of your arsenal.

You should search :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: you will find lots of threads.

Ask them to log in before checking out.

Apps like EmailVerify or any “email validation / checkout verification” app on the Shopify App Store can catch mistakes like @gmai.com and prompt the customer to correct it.
