No. This plugin is designed specifically for the modern WooCommerce block-based checkout. ### Can I choose which countries customers can select from? Yes. You can limit the list to specific countries, exclude certain countries, and control the initial country and its ordering directly from the settings page. ### Can I customize the validation error messages? Yes. Every validation error (too short, too long, invalid country code, invalid number, invalid type) can be customized from the settings page. ### Where is the phone number validated? The plugin validates phone numbers on the block-based checkout page and on the My Account > Edit Address page, so customers get the same validation everywhere they update their number. ### How does the duplicate phone warning work? When editing an order in the admin, the plugin checks whether the billing phone already appears on other orders (within the last year, up to 20 results) and shows a warning listing those orders, so you can investigate suspicious or repeated phone numbers. Orders from the same customer are excluded from the warning. ### What phone number formats are supported? The plugin uses Google’s libphonenumber library to validate and format numbers according to international standards. It supports E.164, International, National, and RFC3966 display formats. ### Can I allow customers to checkout with invalid numbers? Yes. The “Always allow checkout” setting lets customers complete their order even if the phone number fails validation. Invalid numbers are still logged for admin review. ### Does the plugin work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)? Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce HPOS and legacy order storage. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Hulk Phone Guard for WooCommerce” is open source software.
