See every featureForgeward adds the address and cart rules Shopify checkout doesn't enforce on its own, on any plan and without theme code. Reject orders shipping to PO boxes or addresses you don't serve, with your own message at checkout. Set minimum and maximum quantity per product and minimum and maximum cart total.
For some destination countries, missing shipping phone numbers can lead to delivery delays, failed delivery attempts, and extra support work for merchants. ZonePhoneGate helps prevent this by requiring a shipping phone number only for the destination countries you select. Customize the checkout message and block checkout until the phone number is added.
