Yes, as long as you use the standard checkout experience or ReCharge and not other customized checkouts like Shopify Pay or OneClickUpsell (OCU).
The impact to conversion rate is negligible. By default, the validation prompts appear on the Thank You page post-checkout. With this configuration, the impact to conversion rate is zero. If you choose to embed the validation prompts on the first step of checkout, the impact to conversion rate is empirically less than 1% with the drop-offs mainly attributed to customers that specified invalid addresses.

Features

Address Validator only processes orders in supported countries that go through the standard BigCommerce, Shopify or ReCharge checkout and that have not yet been fulfilled. You will not be charged for historical orders.
When an address cannot be validated, the customer is warned via a prompt on the checkout flow. Furthermore, Address Validator has an email notification feature that can alert the store owner and/or the customer whenever an order contains an address cannot validated.
Address Validator allows you to block or warn against the following types of addresses:
  • PO Boxes
  • Private Mailboxes
  • Parcel Collects
  • DHL Packstations
  • Addresses without house #s
  • Addresses without street name
  • Extra long addresses
  • Addresses with non-latin characters
  • Noncontiguous US states
  • Military addresses
  • Rural New Zealand addresses
Address Validator can automatically tag valid US addresses as residential or commercial.

Pricing

If address validation is configured to occur on the Thank You page after checkout, a usage fee is applied whenever an order is created.

Otherwise, a usage fee is applied whenever a customer specifies a shipping address and proceeds to the second step of checkout. This charge will not be applied if the customer drops out before specifying the shipping address, but will be if the customer drops out after specifying a shipping address.

Essentially, we only apply a charge when we have to process an address. You will only be charged once per order, even if the customer alters the address multiple times.
Yes. The app sends every address to our data provider for verification. We do not own the underlying data and would not know whether an address is valid without this step.
