Seamlessly integrate with our address verification API

Working within the Shipium platform, our API address validation workflow ensures accurate shipping details before orders move to picking, packing, and delivery. This verification creates reliable, ready-to-ship orders when used alongside our standardization API.

Submit address

When your customer provides shipping details, the address validation API begins analyzing each required field and any special handling instructions, ensuring complete data for thorough validation results.

Check for completeness

Before attempting to verify address details, the system performs an initial scan of your data, ensuring no critical components are missing or malformed. This step identifies fundamental formatting issues.

Validate accuracy

The mailing address validation process compares each component of the details submitted against verified data to confirm its existence and deliverability. This step ensures that a given address can receive shipments before proceeding.

Read API documentation

Review matches

If the domestic or international address submitted has issues, the validation API searches for similar valid addresses that closely match. This information helps quickly resolve common errors like typos without manual investigation.

Confirm final address

The address validation tool finishes the process by confirming whether the order is valid for shipping and correctly classified as residential or commercial. This final step ensures delivery-ready status or highlights corrections.

Minimize costly shipping errors

Address validation solution that reduces operational costs

Mistyped shipping details create expensive disruptions to your process. Nationwide carriers like FedEx and UPS charge address correction fees between $16.50 and $23.50 per shipment, which can quickly erode profits. At the same time, undelivered orders require restocking, increasing inventory management bottlenecks and consuming valuable warehouse-level resources.

Shipium’s validation API stops these problems at the source. Our real-time tool allows teams to verify delivery address details for accuracy and formatting before fulfillment.

Simplify your ecommerce supply chain

Enhanced mailing address checking that keeps your shipping operation efficient

Enterprise shippers need to balance service levels and increasing demand consistently. With Shipium’s high-performance API, you can validate addresses for every sale that enters your order management system (OMS), keeping your supply chain refined — upstream and downstream — regardless of complexity.

Earlier issue detection

Prevent shipping problems before they disrupt warehouse activities. Early validation catches issues at entry, stopping costly mistakes before they create delays in picking, packing, or processing. This proactive approach protects your operational efficiency.

Reduced operational costs

Eliminate unnecessary expenses from rerouted packages, failed deliveries, and time spent correcting errors you could have caught before shipments left your warehouse. When addresses are validated early, you avoid compounding costs that arise throughout your supply chain and maintain profitability targets.

Streamlined fulfillment

Keep your warehouse operations running smoothly by preventing address-related bottlenecks that slow packing and disrupt logistics. With validated addresses, your team can focus on processing orders rather than managing returns and unnecessary restocks, maximizing your fulfillment center’s productivity.
