Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAddressWise checks shipping addresses at checkout and again after the order is placed. Checkout blocks obviously invalid addresses like PO boxes, emoji, or empty fields. Afterward, subtler problems such as a missing house number or a mismatched postal code are flagged, and the order is held automatically. The customer gets an email with a link to review and correct their own address.
Many couriers can't deliver to PO boxes or need a recipient phone number to dispatch a parcel. Orders with these addresses lead to returned parcels, fulfillment delays and extra support work. ShipShield checks each shipping address in Shopify checkout and asks the buyer for a street address or phone number before the order is placed.
