Add enterprise-grade address validation to your Shopify checkout with type-ahead address lookup, post-checkout verification, and email validation. Built on Shopify’s Checkout Extensibility framework, the Loqate integration reduces delivery failures and improves data quality without requiring technical knowledge.
Active by default once configured, Address Capture adds intelligent type-ahead functionality to both delivery and billing address fields. Customers start typing their address and select from a list of verified suggestions, dramatically reducing input time and errors.Key Features:
Works in both delivery and billing address sections
Respects your Shopify shipping country settings
Reduces checkout time by up to 60%
Supports 245+ countries and territories
The countries in your Country/Region dropdown are controlled by your Shopify store’s shipping settings. Only countries you ship to will appear in the list.
Address Verify adds an intelligent verification layer on the Thank You page, checking delivery addresses through correction, standardization, and enhancement processes. If improvements are found, customers can approve or decline the suggested changes.Key Features:
Runs post-checkout on the Thank You page
Compatible with wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay)
Works with logged-in customer addresses
Updates delivery address in your Shopify orders automatically
Three possible outcomes: verified, alternative found, or not validated
Important: Address Verify is designed for post-checkout use only. Using it during checkout is deprecated and may conflict with wallet payments and logged-in users.
Email Validation ensures customers enter valid email addresses before completing checkout. Invalid addresses trigger an inline notification, preventing customers from proceeding until a valid email is provided. Valid entries pass through seamlessly without interruption.Key Features:
Real-time validation as customers type
Inline error messaging for invalid addresses
No visual impact for valid addresses
Reduces bounce rates and improves deliverability
Catches common typos and formatting errors
Invalid email addresses may include non-existent domains, syntax errors, disposable addresses, or known invalid patterns. See the Email Validation API documentation for complete validation criteria.
How quickly can I install and set up the Loqate app in my Shopify store?
Installation takes less than 5 minutes through the Shopify App Store. You don’t need any technical knowledge—just install the app, add your API key, and configure which services to enable. Address Capture activates automatically on both delivery and billing address fields.
Can I use each validation service independently?
Yes, all three services (Address Capture, Address Verify, and Email Validation) can be enabled or disabled independently. Address Capture is enabled by default, but you have complete control over which services to use based on your business needs.
Will Address Verify work with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and logged-in customers?
Yes. Address Verify runs post-checkout on the Thank You page, making it fully compatible with wallet payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay) and addresses from logged-in customer accounts. This is why we recommend the post-checkout approach rather than checkout page verification.
Does it work with international customers and all Shopify markets?
Yes, we support 245+ countries and territories worldwide. The app automatically respects your Shopify store’s shipping country settings, so only the countries you ship to will appear in the country dropdown. Address suggestions and validation adapt to each country’s specific address format.
What happens if Address Verify can't validate an address?
If an address is too low quality to validate, customers see a notification that “Your shipping address could not be validated,” but their order still processes normally. This ensures you never lose a sale due to validation issues while still improving overall address quality.
Will this slow down my checkout process?
No. Our validation APIs are optimized for speed with sub-100ms response times. Address Capture actually speeds up checkout by reducing typing, and Address Verify runs post-checkout so it never interrupts the purchase flow. The app typically improves completion rates by reducing form errors.
