Does WordPress verify emails?

WordPress does not include built-in email verification. Most form plugins only check basic format (e.g., contains @). Truelist performs full SMTP-level verification to confirm whether an email address actually exists and can receive mail.

How do I connect WordPress to Truelist?

Install the Truelist Email Validator plugin from the WordPress plugin directory (Plugins > Add New > search "Truelist"). Activate it, enter your API key from app.truelist.io, and email verification is ready to use on your forms.

Does this work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Truelist verifies emails from WooCommerce customer accounts, checkout forms, and order notifications. This helps prevent fraudulent orders from fake email addresses.

Can I verify emails in real time on form submission?

Yes. With real-time verification enabled, Truelist checks email addresses as visitors submit forms on your WordPress site, blocking invalid entries before they reach your database.
