Shopify

The getAddress() Autocomplete app checks every order's New Zealand delivery address against LINZ's NZ Addresses on every Shopify plan, and on Shopify Plus adds address autocomplete to checkout. It is free; look-ups come from your getAddress() plan. The same app serves Australia from getaddress.io and Denmark from getaddress.dk: connect each country you sell to.

The app is in review for the Shopify App Store.

What it does

• Order address check (every plan) — each new order is checked with Validate and tagged when its address needs a look: address-unverified (not one single address: none fits, or several do, such as a building's flats given without one) or address-po-box (a PO Box, Private Bag, CMB or parcel locker). Checks are listed in the app and kept 90 days.
• Shopify Flow — the Order address needs checking trigger fires for every tagged order, with the problem, the address checked and the country.
• Fulfilment hold (optional) — hold a flagged order's fulfilment, with a note saying why, until someone checks the address.
• Checkout address autocomplete (Plus) — every New Zealand address from LINZ as the shopper types; one pick fills the number and road (2/12 East Street), the suburb, the town or city and the postcode.

Set up

1. Install the app, open it and press Connect getaddress.nz. Sign in, or sign up free, at getaddress.nz and allow your shop: the app is given an API key of its own on your default subscription. (Or paste an API key instead.)
2. Leave Check new orders on. Tick Hold fulfilment of flagged orders if you want it; Shopify asks you to let the app manage fulfilment orders.
3. Plus: in Settings → Checkout → Customize, open the editor's settings and choose getAddress() Autocomplete under Address autocompletion.

Disconnecting

Disconnect in the app, or under Connected shops in your console, stops the shop's key at once. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it holds for the shop.

Costs

Suggestions are free. Each address a shopper picks is one look-up, and so is each order whose address is found. A PO Box is recognised without a look-up, and an address that isn't found costs nothing.

Privacy

The app keeps each checked order's delivery address line, order number and result for 90 days, and your API key encrypted, in Microsoft Azure's Australia East region. No name, email or phone number is sent to getAddress(). See the privacy policy.
