how do I check against a disposable email list

[Yaron]

I would like to validate emails before it’s added to the database for free registration.

is eStore compatible with any email validation plug-ins?

or is there a way to send get request to an API, before registering an email?

block-temporary-email.com/

I have no need for temporary emails/disposable emails and I get a lot of them for free products

Are you referring to the squeeze form option?

[Yaron]

No, it’s the choose your price, when you choose 0 ,and start moving through manual checkout

The download link will get sent to that email that they enter in the form. How will they get the download link if it isn’t a valid email address?

Maybe you have some bot submissions on your site. Those can be countered using the captcha option. go to the following interface:

WP eStore -> Settings -> Addon Settings

Scroll down to the “Google reCAPTCHA Settings” section and configure it. That will add a captcha on the manual checkout form. That will prevent any bot submissions.

Yes, but those are not bots, those are human that use disposable emails, temporary emails

like this service: temp-mail.org/

you jump and get a temporary email, download whatever you want, and that’s it

The thing is there are lists of those, like this

block-temporary-email.com/

Can I check against it before it gets saved, so I won’t get all these temporary/disposable emails spamming my email list?

Please see my explanation, about the problems of getting into a war of attrition with determined users:

Your only recourse, would be to charge a nominal membership fee for access to “free” download areas that require the paid users to login to.

Generally, if someone is really determined to do that then you can’t do anything for “Free Items”. There are a range of other things that they can do to get around whatever else you will do. The proper way would be to charge a fee for the products/items.

If you want to get a custom job done for your site (for your particular situation), you can use the following option:
