What WooCommerce Advanced Accounts Premium Does

WooCommerce Advanced Accounts Premium helps store owners turn the standard WooCommerce customer account area into a more controlled account, login, and membership system.

The plugin is useful when your store needs more than a basic email-and-password customer account. You can let customers use a phone number as their account login, require email or phone verification, allow OTP login, customize the My Account menu, block risky users, and sell membership access using WooCommerce products.

Simple version: use this plugin when customer identity, easier login, or member-only access matters to your store.

Main Areas of the Plugin

• Account creation: allow phone-number-based accounts and optionally remove the email requirement.
• Verification: require email verification, phone verification, or one-time password login.
• Profile fields: add avatar, birthday, age limit, first name, and last name options.
• My Account menu: rename, reorder, hide, add, or customize account endpoints.
• User management: block users and manually verify or unverify email and phone status.
• Membership: grant customer roles after purchase, restrict content/products, and apply member discounts.

Free Plugin vs Premium Plugin

The free plugin is named WooCommerce Advanced Accounts. The premium plugin is named WooCommerce Advanced Accounts Premium.

Unlike some add-ons that must run beside a free core plugin, this Premium plugin is designed to run as the active version. When Premium is activated, it prevents conflicts with the free plugin by deactivating the free plugin.

For most stores, install and use WooCommerce Advanced Accounts Premium only. Keep the free plugin inactive once Premium is active.

Where Settings Are Located

Most settings are inside WooCommerce → Settings → Accounts & Membership. SMS provider setup is inside WooCommerce → Settings → Integration → SMS Services. License activation is managed from the YoOhw license manager screen.
