Restrict Fake Registration

The Restrict Fake Registration extension for Magento empowers store owners to protect their websites by preventing fake and spammy customer registrations. This extension provides advanced control over who can create accounts by allowing restrictions based on email domains, IP addresses, and name validation rules. With configurable options for blocking or allowing specific email domains, character limits for customer names, and restriction by IP addresses, the extension ensures only valid registrations are allowed. It helps maintain a cleaner customer database, reduces spam, and strengthens the overall security of your Magento store.

Whether you want to restrict registrations from free email providers or block certain IP addresses associated with fraudulent activities, this extension provides a simple yet effective solution. Ideal for Magento stores seeking to improve customer data quality and minimize fake account creation, this extension integrates smoothly with any Magento theme and functions automatically after setup.

Our module is fully compatible with the latest versions of Magento and Adobe Commerce, as well as PHP 8.1 & PHP 8.2.

Features:

• Email Domain Restriction: Allow or deny registrations based on specific email domains. You can configure an allowlist (permitted domains) or a denylist (blocked domains) to control which email addresses can register on your store.
• Name Validation: Ensure customers enter valid first and last names by setting character limits and allowing or disallowing spaces and special characters.
• IP Address Restriction: Prevent fake registrations from specific IP addresses by maintaining a list of blocked IPs.
• Customizable Error Messages: Show custom error messages to users who attempt to register with invalid details, providing clear feedback and instructions on how to proceed.

Use Cases:

• Prevent Fake Registrations: Protect your store from spammy registrations by blocking free or suspicious email domains (e.g., example@freemail.com).
• Improve Data Quality: Set clear validation rules for names to ensure accurate customer information is captured during registration.
• Block Fraudulent Users: Restrict access to your site from known malicious IP addresses, reducing the risk of fraud.

How It Works:

Once installed, the Restrict Fake Registration extension for Magento integrates seamlessly with your Magento store’s registration process. It works by checking the user’s registration details, such as their email address, name, and IP address, against the configured restrictions. If a user attempts to register with a blocked email domain, an invalid name, or from a restricted IP address, they will receive a custom error message guiding them to provide valid details.

The extension allows administrators to configure these rules from the backend, making it easy to enable or disable restrictions, modify settings, and update error messages as needed. After setup, the extension automatically applies your restrictions, ensuring that only legitimate customers can register on your Magento site.
