Email verification is an important part of the SaaS application. We will contact the user by email in many cases: for a password reset, announcement of new features, or for sending the invoice. During registration, a user provides the email address. We need to check if the email belongs to the user and that there are no typos/errors in it. This can be easily done by automatically sending the verification email with an activation link. Such a link contains the unique token assigned to the user. After opening the activation link in the web browser, the request is sent to the web application (Django Rest Framework). The web server compares the token from the activation URL with the token stored in the database. If they are the same, the email address is verified.

Starting SaaS with Django and React
Django React Backend Frontend Boilerplate Piotr Płoński, October 23, 2020
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a model of software delivery in which users pay a subscription to get access to centrally hosted software. Nowadays, you can easily build your own SaaS, but you need to have programming skills. There are a lot of open-source web frameworks that allow you to quickly create a web service. You can serve SaaS on rented hardware in the cloud. You can start your own SaaS at 10-50$ per month of total costs (but you need to have programming skills!).
