The address validator warns or blocks missing house numbers, PO boxes, Packstations, special characters and email typos in checkout. After purchase, Google Address Validation provides shipping address verification and address correction.

ShipShield checks each shipping address in Shopify checkout and asks the buyer for a street address or phone number before the order is placed.

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Nov 2, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
