Approve New User Registration

Setup and Configuration

After activation Approve New User Registration extension, you can see “Approve New User Registration” in WordPress admin under WooCommerce Menu. Click to view settings and get started.

In general settings, you can enable user approval and select which user roles should be able to auto-login. You can also choose to enable/disable user approval when the account is created from the checkout page using the account creation section. If user approval is required for checkout, the customer will be logged in after checkout and as soon as they logout, they won’t be able to login again. Currently, there is a technical limitation as WooCommerce login a customer by default after checkout, we are looking for a solution to restrict login after checkout, as soon as we have solution, we will implement and update here.
