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.
Maximize your profits and reduce unnecessary problems with 'AddressHero'. Incorrect delivery addresses or DHL / Deutsche Post packing stations lead to expensive misdeliveries, dissatisfied customers and rising support costs. 'AddressHero' offers address validation, recognizes and clears address errors automatically or by the customer - no manual effort required.
- 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
- Validate addresses while checkout (Shopify Plus) with checkout extensions
- Compatible with Express Checkouts (Apple and Google Pay) and PayPal Express
- Lightning fast loading time & optimized for mobile user experience
- Lightning fast setup, no programming required
