About Email Validator PRO

Catch wrong email addresses before they cost you an order

A typo in an email address means no order confirmation, no shipping update and a customer who thinks you never answered. Email Validator PRO checks the address while customers fill in the form and asks them to fix it, before they register or order.

What your customers see

  • "Did you mean …?": a typo like gmial.com gets a suggestion, and one click corrects it.
  • A clear message below the field when the address can't receive email, in the customer's language.
  • Disposable addresses such as Mailinator can be refused.

The address is checked when the customer leaves the field, not on every keystroke.

Four checks, combine them as you like

  • RFC: is the address written correctly? Runs on your own server, free.
  • DNS: can the domain receive email? Optionally require an MX record. Runs on your own server, free.
  • AbstractAPI.com: checks whether the mailbox exists, detects disposable addresses and suggests corrections for typos.
  • EmailHippo MORE: checks whether the mailbox exists and detects disposable addresses.

The API checks need an account with the provider. Test your key with one click in the configuration.

Where it checks

  • Customer registration and guest checkout
  • Changing the email address in the customer account
  • Contact and newsletter forms in your Shopping Experiences

Switch on the server-side check to check these forms again when they are submitted. That also covers browsers without JavaScript, bots and headless frontends.

Never in the way of a sale

  • Only a definite "undeliverable" rejects an address. When an API can't be reached, its quota is used up or it isn't sure, the customer simply continues.
  • Results are cached for a day, so the same address doesn't use API credits again.

Statistics

See how many addresses were checked and how many each check rejected, for the last 7 days, 30 days and in total.

Privacy

The RFC and DNS checks run on your own server. With an API check on, the address is sent to AbstractAPI.com (United States) or EmailHippo (United Kingdom) when the customer leaves the field. The settings remind you to sign a data processing agreement with the provider and to mention it in your privacy statement.

8 languages

The settings and the messages for customers are available in English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Danish.
