Description
Incorrect shipping addresses are one of the most expensive problems in eCommerce, leading to failed deliveries, returns, and unnecessary operational costs. VerifyShip prevents these issues before they happen.
We use a 2-step address validation process designed to protect your store without disrupting the standard checkout flow:
- During checkout: We detect obvious formatting and input issues in real time and help customers correct them instantly
- After order submission: We perform a full validation using multiple data sources and notify the customer if their address needs correction
When issues are detected, we provide intelligent address suggestions and corrections, helping customers quickly fix mistakes without friction.
This ensures you catch both simple errors early and more complex address issues after checkout—while keeping the buying experience smooth and conversion-friendly.
This extension is free to download and install. However, our address validation service requires a subscription from VerifyShip.
External services
This plugin connects to an API to validate addresses.
During checkout, it sends essential address information (country, postalCode, city, street address) as well as email, name and phone number. This information is only used for validation and not stored by VerifyShip.
During advanced validation (after order confirmation), only essential address information is sent again.
This service is provided by “VerifyShip”: terms of use, privacy policy.
Installation
Automatic installation
The easiest way is to go to the WordPress plugin store, search for “VerifyShip” and install it.
Manual installation
Manual installation requires downloading the VerifyShip plugin and uploading it to your web server via FTP. The WordPress codex contains a manual for this.
First Steps
After installation, you will find the VerifyShip settings tab in your WooCommerce settings.
After clicking on it, you will need to provide us with your email address. Rest assured, you will not receive any marketing emails. This is only so we can contact you or inform you of important events (e.g. the expiration of your free trial). After that, you can configure your desired validation behavior and you’re ready to go!
