Email Domains Blocklist in SuiteCommerce

The SuiteCommerce Email Domains Blocklist is a critical feature designed to bolster web store security by preventing customers from using email addresses from specific, untrusted domains during key purchase flows. It effectively blocks the creation of accounts and guest checkouts if the associated email domain is on the list, thus mitigating risks related to fraud and spam.

Supported User Flows

The Email Domains Blocklist applies to the following user interactions in your SuiteCommerce store:

• Register a New Customer: When a potential customer fills out the account registration form and submits their email, the domain is checked against the blocklist. A blocked domain results in an error message, preventing registration.

• Guest Checkout: During the guest checkout process, if an email address is entered and its domain is found on the blocklist, the checkout process is stopped, and the user receives a notification.

• Skip Checkout Login: If a user chooses to skip the login or registration page and directly proceeds to checkout, their entered email is still subjected to the blocklist check. A blocked domain will halt the checkout process and display an error message.

This functionality is essential for maintaining data integrity and safeguarding customer security.

Key Benefits of the Email Domains Blocklist

Implementing the SuiteCommerce Email Domains Blocklist offers numerous advantages:

• Blocks registrations and guest accounts using suspicious email domains.
• Helps in preventing bots and spam accounts, fostering a safer shopping environment.
• Supports both predefined and custom blocklists, enhancing flexibility in domain management.

Configuration Options

To enable and configure the SuiteCommerce Email Domains Blocklist, you will use the SuiteCommerce Configuration record within NetSuite. Key configuration options include:

This makes it easy for administrators to manage and adjust the settings to fit their store's needs effectively.
