Address validation for Shopify - which solution do I need?

Should you be using our Address Check Shopify App or our new Data Validation App for Shopify Plus?

Updated over 2 months ago

Which app you need for Shopify depends on which Shopify store subscription plan you have. Shopify Basic, Standard and Advanced plans do not have the functionality to customise the checkout in any way, so we have developed 2 apps that can be found in the Shopify App Store, one for Plus merchants and one for Basic, Standard and Advanced merchants.

Shopify Plus merchants

Since the launch of Shopify Plus Checkout Extensions, Shopify Plus merchants will benefit from our new Data Validation App for Shopify Plus Checkout Extensions.

The new app is quick and easy to install and gives you :

  • Full UK Postcode Lookup, Global Address Auto-Complete and Email Address Validation

  • Increased conversion with faster checkout

  • Accurate addresses worldwide with predictive address results for all our territories (The native solution in Shopify Plus from Google only covers 20 countries)

Shopify Basic, Standard & Advanced merchants

These Shopify plan levels do not include functionality to modify the checkout which means that address lookup within the checkout is currently only possible with their free Google Address Autocomplete, which covers only 20 countries. The Address Check & Validation App by Fetchify provides a post-checkout address verification solution.

What does the app do for customers?

  • After a customer completes an order, the app uses our Global Address Auto-Complete to check and validate the shipping address on the order confirmation page.

  • If a match is found and corrections are recommended to standardise the address, the app will show the customer their current selection and our recommended one.

  • The customer can choose to accept the change, or not.

What does the app do for merchants?

  • Zero integration effort - just add the app from the App Store and off you go!

  • Gives you peace of mind that customers can select a corrected address to ensure more accurate delivery of your products.

  • Reduces customer complaints from missing deliveries

  • Lets you see if a customer chose to update their address or not within their Order History Timeline.

  • Simple per-order pricing of $0.04 USD added to your monthly Shopify subscription invoice - no need for a separate Fetchify account.
