Email and SMS Verification ensures that every account created on your competition platform is backed by a real, confirmed contact method. Verification is triggered at the point of sign-up — whether that’s during checkout or on the standard registration form — preventing fake accounts, reducing fraud, and keeping your customer database clean. Phone number verification via SMS follows the same process as email and is equally supported.Documentation Index

How Verification Works
When a new customer registers, a popup appears immediately asking them to verify their email address by entering a code sent to their inbox. The flow is intentionally simple to minimise drop-off during sign-up while still ensuring the address is genuine.SMS verification works in the same way — customers receive a code to their phone number instead of their inbox, and the popup prompts them to enter it before their account is activated.
Configuration Options
The settings page offers two verification approaches:Popup Form (Free)
Popup Form (Free)
The built-in popup form requires customers to enter a verification code sent to their email or phone. This option is free to use and requires no external API. It is a reliable choice for most competition platforms.
Abstract API Integration
Abstract API Integration
Connect to Abstract API to verify email addresses instantly — without asking the customer to enter any code at all. Abstract validates the address in the background at the moment of registration, creating a completely frictionless experience for your customers while still ensuring the email is deliverable.
This feature will be configured for you as part of your platform setup. Simply let the team know which option you prefer — the popup code flow or the Abstract API integration — and it will be set up accordingly.
