Overview

The Single Address Tool allows you to check the validity of a shipping address across 240+ countries in just a few clicks. This can be helpful in situations where you need to check an order outside of your e-commerce store such as a phone order or marketplace.

Once an address completes processing, the analysis results will display on the right side of the screen. Depending on the country, varying levels of information will be available.

Note: Each address validation will be billed based on your account billing rate.
