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.
SafeShip helps you save money by preventing delivery failures from customers entering an invalid shipping address. With the app, you can easily add address validation or PO box blocking to your checkout in a few clicks. The app works in the checkout page, so there's no need to have the customer update their shipping address after the order is placed.
- 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 shipping addresses and block checkout if the address doesn't exist.
- Prevent checkout with PO box addresses if you can't ship to them.
- Show shipping address suggestions to ensure optimal deliverability.
- Block shipping addresses that are missing a required house or building number.
