Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAddressReady checks the shipping address at checkout and asks customers to fix problems before they can pay. Block PO Box addresses, require a house number, and validate postal or ZIP formats. Choose which countries each rule applies to, and write your own checkout error message for every rule. Test any address in the Address Test Lab first.
Express wallets — Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay — skip your address form, so orders arrive with a street but no house number, or no postal code at all, and the delivery fails. A missing house number only produces a warning at checkout, which the buyer can ignore. This app turns it into a block: checkout cannot be completed until the address is fixed, wallets included.
