Double Opt-In adds a mandatory email verification step to your Contact Form 7 and Avada forms. 
When a visitor submits your form, the original mail is not sent immediately. Instead, the plugin:
<ol>
<li>Stores the submission in a secure database table.</li>
<li>Sends a confirmation email with a unique, time-limited link.</li>
<li>Only after the visitor clicks that link is the original form mail delivered.</li>
</ol>
This ensures:
<ul>
<li>Only valid, verified email addresses reach your inbox.</li>
<li>GDPR / DSGVO requirements are met with proper consent tracking, IP logging, and data retention.</li>
<li>Your database stays clean and reliable — no fake or mistyped addresses.</li>
</ul>
Seamless integration with Contact Form 7 and Avada Forms. 
Enable Double Opt-In per form, customize confirmation emails with a visual editor, and manage data retention with ease.
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>A visitor fills out your Contact Form 7 or Avada form and clicks submit.</li>
<li>The plugin intercepts the submission, stores the form data, and generates a unique hash.</li>
<li>A confirmation email is sent to the visitor’s email address containing a verification link.</li>
<li>The visitor clicks the link. The plugin verifies the hash, marks the opt-in as confirmed, and sends the original form mail (as if the form was just submitted).</li>
<li>The confirmed opt-in is logged in the admin dashboard with timestamps and IP addresses for full GDPR compliance.</li>
</ol>
