Customers all saying their address is invalid

[bigdog27]

All my customers are complaining they cannot place orders because Shopify is saying their address is invalid. I am using the Buy Button and as soon as they submit their order it denies the sale.

I have validated them using USPS and they are valid addresses. There is NO problem with the address. None. They have tried Credit card, PayPal and Apple Pay. None of them work. They cannot buy my products.

This sucks and I am not making any money. I am getting lots of abandoned carts though.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, @bigdog27!

I'm Lizzy, one of the Gurus on the support team at Shopify. I'd like to look into this with you to help you start seeing sales come through! When did you first start receiving reports of this happening?

Most often, when customers are having trouble checking out based on their address it is related to a store's shipping zones not matching up with what they've entered. Have you been able to check whether the abandoned carts have addresses based in countries that you have created shipping rules for?

If this isn't what's causing the issues, it could potentially be related to an app or payment gateway. Did your customers happen to share any screenshots of the error message that they're seeing? Were you able to replicate it on your end as well?

Please let me know if the addresses don't appear to be in conflict with your shipping settings, so that I can start the process for taking a look at your account in more detail!

Thank you,
Lizzy

Lizzy,

I am having this issue as well. My customer has purchased from me previously and is using the same billing/shipping address. She is receiving the error message in the attached photo.

Hi!

I'm having this same issue. The customers are getting their address is invalid or cannot validate and not letting them proceed with their order. I have three stores and this is happening in all of them.

I also had the same issue when I enabled local delivery. In this case, It works properly only when the content in address field is correctly recognised by shopify.

So if this your case, the alternate method would be to either disable local delivery or keep the manual shipping method also active as before. Hope this helps.
