    How it sells itself

    Address Validator checks shipping addresses while buyers are still in checkout. It catches typos, missing unit numbers and invalid postal codes, then offers a one-click corrected address. Autocomplete fills Shopify’s native address fields as buyers type. Delivery rules warn or block PO boxes, countries or regions.

    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.

    Key points
    • Real-time address verification in checkout with a one-click corrected address
    • Address autocomplete inside Shopify's native checkout address fields
    • Delivery rules: warn or block PO boxes, specific countries and regions
    • Order history with every address check and the buyer's decision on it
    • Block US PO Box addresses on shipping orders while allowing real street names.
    • Require a recipient phone number on US shipping orders for courier dispatch.
    • Test sample addresses in a built-in simulator before turning rules on.
    • Write the message buyers see when their address needs fixing.
