How Do I Block an Email Address in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:09 pm

There are a few different ways that you can block an email address in WooCommerce. One way is to use the built-in blocking feature that is included in the WooCommerce settings.

Another way is to use a plugin or extension that is specifically designed for blocking emails in WooCommerce.

To use the built-in blocking feature, go to the WooCommerce settings page and click on the “Email” tab. Then, scroll down to the “Email Sender Options” section and look for the “Block Email Addresses” setting.

Enter the email addresses that you want to block into this setting, separating each one with a comma.

PRO TIP: If you are considering blocking an email address in WooCommerce, be aware that this may have consequences for your business. Blocking an email address can prevent the person from receiving any correspondence from your store, including important transactional emails. It may also cause problems with orders or customer accounts associated with that email address. Proceed with caution and only block an email address if absolutely necessary.

If you want more control over which emails are blocked and why, you can use a plugin or extension. There are a few different options available, but we recommend using the WooCommerce Email Control plugin.

This plugin lets you block emails based on various criteria, such as whether they contain certain words or phrases, whether they come from a certain domain, or whether they are sent to a certain email address.

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, go to the “Email Control” page in your WordPress admin area. Then, click on the “Blocked Emails” tab and enter the criteria for which you want to block emails.

For example, you could enter “*@gmail.com” in the “Blocked Domains” field to block all emails from Gmail addresses.

There are a few different ways that you can block an email address in WooCommerce. The built-in blocking feature in WooCommerce lets you block email addresses from the WooCommerce settings page. You can also use a plugin or extension to give you more control over which emails are blocked and why.
