See every featureAddressFence stops PO box and parcel locker addresses from being used as the shipping address at checkout. Install, turn on the PO box and locker rules, and they work right away; a small set of ZIP/postal rules is included free. When you need more, paid upgrades add street-number checks, custom checkout error messages, region rules, CSV import, billing-address rules and allowlists.
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.
