Hello,

This is not controlled by WoodMart. By default, WordPress allows anyone to register if that option is enabled. To fix this:

1. Restrict registration to WooCommerce checkout only (WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy).
2. Use a plugin for email verification: https://woocommerce.com/document/customer-email-verification/ ,
https://wordpress.org/plugins/emails-verification-for-woocommerce/
3. Enable Google reCAPTCHA on registration forms using a plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-google-recaptcha/

This will block bots and allow only genuine customer registrations.

Best Regards,
Author
