SamCart is a powerful eCommerce platform that helps businesses create high-converting checkout pages to maximize sales and improve customer experiences; its features, like customizable templates, one-click upsells, and seamless payment integrations, are designed to streamline the sales process and reduce cart abandonment. However, one common challenge is the entry of undeliverable email addresses, email typos and temporary / disposable emails during checkout. Accurate emails are critical for sending order confirmations, delivering digital products, and enabling effective post-purchase communication: without valid email addresses, businesses face issues like missed communications, reduced customer satisfaction, and wasted marketing efforts.
Using the free Verifalia widget, you can ensure that only valid and deliverable email addresses are accepted on SamCart checkout pages: in this article, we’ll show you how to easily prevent invalid, undeliverable and temporary emails from being entered on SamCart during payments.
How to check email addresses in SamCart checkout pages
To ensure the email addresses you collect in SamCart are deliverable, you can easily add the Verifalia widget to your checkout pages: integrating it into SamCart is simple and requires no coding, making it accessible even if you're not tech-savvy. This widget automatically verifies email addresses using the Verifalia email checker as users type, confirming if an email address exists and can receive emails, thus preventing invalid and undeliverable emails from entering your SamCart payment pages.
Yes - SamCart already seems to use your web browser to check if email addresses are valid when people fill out forms on its checkout pages: however, this method only checks the syntax of emails and is not foolproof, so there's no guarantee that the emails collected this way will function correctly. This can result in typos, temporary or disposable email addresses, or emails that bounce back when you send messages.
How to add the Verifalia widget to a SamCart checkout page
Adding the Verifalia email verification widget to a SamCart checkout page is very easy and requires just a few steps:
- Open the "Products" page in the SamCart user interface, and click the product name to open its settings page:
- Click the "Advanced" tab and paste the code snippet from the Verifalia dashboard into the "Embed HTML/Scripts in Header" text area. If you don't have a Verifalia account, register for free. You will need a browser app key (a sequence of alphanumeric characters) to use the widget. Create a browser app if you don't have one already. On the Verifalia dashboard, you can easily generate the necessary embedding code from the "Embeddable widget" tab, which includes the HTML code snippet.
- Click the "Save Changes" button in the header.
From now on, every email entered on the product checkout page will be verified using the Verifalia email checker; for advanced settings, check out the widget documentation.
