When customers place an order or save an address in My Account, Metanorm checks the address and may suggest a correction. Customers can review suggested corrections directly in the checkout or account address form and choose whether to use the suggestion or keep their entered address. #### Features * Supports both billing and shipping addresses in WooCommerce Classic Checkout and Block Checkout. * Address validation when customers edit billing or shipping addresses in My Account. * Display of suggested address corrections. * Customers can accept a suggestion or keep their original address. ### External Services Address validation requires a paid Metanorm subscription and an API key. The plugin itself is free. Service and account registration: [Metanorm account](https://metanorm.ai/login) Terms of service: [Terms of service](https://metanorm.ai/agb) Privacy policy: [Privacy policy](https://metanorm.ai/datenschutz) Support and contact: [Contact Metanorm](https://metanorm.ai/#contact) Service provider legal notice: [Legal notice](https://bieber-systems.com/impressum) When a customer places an order or saves an address in My Account, the plugin sends the address details needed for validation to Metanorm. Depending on the service configuration, Metanorm may use AI and geocoding providers to process them. The transmitted data may include: * Address line 1 (street and house number). * Address line 2 (additional address information). * Postal code, city and country code. * Browser language and a random request ID. The API key is used to authenticate requests. Separate name, company, email, telephone and state fields are not sent for validation. Customers may enter personal information in address lines. Without a saved API key, the plugin does not send addresses to Metanorm. “Test connection” checks whether the service is reachable without sending an address or API key. See the service terms and privacy policy for data retention and other providers involved in processing. Shop owners should describe address validation in their own privacy notice. For troubleshooting, the plugin records request IDs, response status, duration and error codes, but no addresses or API keys. To prevent misuse, it temporarily counts requests from each connection. ### Source Code The plugin includes its source code in src/. See BUILDING.txt for build instructions. ## Screenshots [⌊Enter a shipping address in WooCommerce Block Checkout and submit the order to request validation.⌉⌊Enter a shipping address in WooCommerce Block Checkout and submit the order to request validation.⌉[ Enter a shipping address in WooCommerce Block Checkout and submit the order to request validation.
