6 ratingsBlock Emails & Addresses for WooCommerce lets you stop unwanted customers at checkout. The order is rejected before payment is taken, and you can customize the error message shown to the blocked customer.
Block by:
- Email — exact address (
spam@spammy.org), whole domain (@spammy.org) or TLD (.xyz) - Shipping address — substring patterns checked against all address fields, or
r:regex; also catches street/number split across address lines 1 and 2 - Phone — digit-normalized substring matching, so

Covers every checkout path:
- Classic (shortcode) checkout
- Block checkout (Store API)
- Express payment buttons — Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal — which bypass the classic checkout validation
Keeps you informed:
- Counters of blocked checkout attempts (with reset buttons)
- A recent-blocks log on each settings page showing the matched rule, attempted value and IP
- Full history in WooCommerce > Status > Logs (source

Matching is case-insensitive. Nothing is blocked until you add an entry.
It blocks checkouts by email, shipping address, phone, name or IP during the WooCommerce checkout process.
After installing and activating the plugin, go to WooCommerce->Block Emails for email rules (one per line: spam@spammy.org, @spammy.org or .xyz) and WooCommerce->Block Addresses for address, phone, name and IP rules.
Yes. The checks also run on the Store API, which covers the block checkout and express buttons such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal.
Yes. This plugin uses the same settings storage, so existing address/IP/phone/name rules are picked up automatically. Deactivate the old plugin after updating so the checks don’t run twice.
