Hi there,
In the current version of the plugin each new affiliate registration can be either automatically approved or left pending and awaiting manual approval.
However, if you are familiar with custom implementations and PHP you can try and build it yourself, the verification mail approach which IMO is less tricky than the two-step verification.
For the verification mail approach, what I would do is keep new affiliate registrations as pending( Affiliates > Settings > Registration tab) and then using the affiliates_stored_affiliate action hook, find the new affiliate’s email and send your custom verification email to this pending affiliate. Once the affiliate candidate verifies, adjust the status of this affiliate db record to active.
Kind regards,
George
