I found a fix thanks to a colleague.

For me (Using PayPal Payments Pro and WooCommerce 8.0.2), the fix requires two changes (not just the add_filter change as some threads indicate).

One:

go to:

1. wp-content / plugins / woocommerce / includes / shortcodes : class-wc-shortcode-checkout.php
2. go to line 390 and change true to false.

Two:

Long story short, this was a security enhancement introduced here with a filter. 1

You can disable it by adding the following one-liner to your theme’s functions.php file or via a code-adding plugin like Code Snippets.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_email_verification_required', '__return_false' );

The team will also be posting about ways to improve this process soon in the WooCommerce blog.

Thanks @modusmarketing. I was hoping that priority would do the trick but I’m still experiencing the issue. I tried 99999 as well just to make sure it was last.
