Address validation
Address validation
AI address validation, with no per-order fee.
Dedicated address validators charge $0.05 to $0.06 per order after a small free allowance. At 1,000 orders that is $50 to $60 a month for validation alone. Simple Chat validates shipping addresses with AI before it changes an order, with no per-order validation fee. Shopify Checkout already includes address autocomplete in many countries; this page is about support and order-change validation, not replacing Checkout.

Does Simple Chat replace a checkout address-validation app?
Simple Chat validates shipping addresses with AI when a customer asks to change an order, and when a ShipHero address hold needs a verdict, before writing the new address to Shopify. Dedicated tools such as AddressGuard and Clearer.io mainly validate every checkout. Shopify Checkout already includes address autocomplete in many countries. If you only needed checkout autocomplete on every order, keep Checkout's built-in autocomplete or a checkout validator. If you were paying $0.05 to $0.06 per order to reduce failed deliveries from bad addresses after purchase, Simple Chat covers the support and order-change side of that job with no per-order fee.
How do address validation apps charge?
On the Shopify App Store, AddressGuard lists $0.05 per manual validation (or $0.06 per autocomplete validation) after 100 free orders. Clearer.io Address Validator lists $0.06 per order after 100 free orders. Those are usage fees on top of whatever you already pay for support.
What does Simple Chat charge for address validation?
Nothing extra. Address validation runs as part of the order-change workflow. You pay $0.29 only when the AI resolves a conversation. There is no per-order validation meter.
