Address Validation
Validating the Checkout Page
This section describes the validation methods implemented on the Global-e Checkout Page.
The information submitted on the Global‑e Checkout Page is important for to ensure the order is shipped to the right destination. When incorrect information is provided, an order can either fail, its submission can be declined, or it may require manual intervention after the order acceptance.
Input Validation
Validating the Input on the Checkout Page
Customers are required to provide their billing address, delivery address (if different from the billing address), and payment details on the Checkout Page before an order can be submitted. This information is then validated to ensure it is correct.
Payment details are validated by Global-e-integrated payment providers, and the billing and shipping information is verified internally by Global-e.
The billing and shipping validation is performed by textual validation.
Textual Validation
Validating the Text on the Checkout Page
Textual validation ensures that the text entered into each text field conforms to the specified field requirements.
If a mandatory field is skipped, it is marked with a red X, and the order is not accepted until it is properly filled.
