Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAddress Shield is an address validation app. It checks the delivery address at checkout and asks your customer to fix anything wrong before it reaches you. Validation runs inside Shopify's checkout, so addresses are never sent to our servers, never stored and never shared. We never rewrite an address, because auto-correction can turn a correct address into a wrong one.
Even small errors, like a missing apartment number or a typo in the street name, can result in up to $25 in carrier fees, it's not just about lost packages, it's about your bottom line. While Shopify’s Google auto-complete offers address auto-complete, it doesn't guarantee deliverability. These errors can lead to undeliverable shipments, costly reshipping fees, and unhappy customers.
- Addresses never leave Shopify. Checks run in checkout, nothing is sent to us
- Never rewrites an address. Your customer is asked to fix it, so nothing is lost
- Block missing house numbers, missing apartment numbers and special characters
- Block PO boxes your carriers can't deliver to, and zip codes you don't ship to
- Automatically prompt customers to fix invalid addresses before shipping.
- Prevent undeliverable addresses: PO boxes, ZIP codes, Military, Emojis, etc.
- Customize address prompts and messaging to match your store's design and brand.
- Works with express checkouts like ApplePay, GooglePay, and PayPal Express.
