I send a verification link to new email addresses before accepting payments. They do click them.

Do those verification clicks come from the same ip address as the initial order?
Good question, I don't know. I could fail the verification if it doesn't match.
It's not 100% because you may get some folks who sign up on a PC but deal with email on a phone, but if they're on home wifi then it'll be the same address. If your emails are sent immediately then differing IPs seem like they'd be rare.
