Checkout Address Validation for Cross-Border Orders
The Opportunity
An app that validates shipping addresses in real time and flags formatting issues, missing postal data, or invalid international addresses before orders are placed. It reduces failed deliveries, manual support work, and tax/duties errors caused by bad addresses.
