App for auto completion / address check during account creation

Shopify Apps

Hi everyone,
I am currently looking for an app which can check the customer’s address as soon as they subscribe. And warn them if the address is not correct.

I have already activated the Google auto complete address during checkout. But is there any app which can do it also at the account creation stage ? :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your help

Hi @Pauline_EC ,

Thanks for reaching out and this is a excellent question! Many times I have entered an incorrect email address by mistake myself, so having a warning or a verification process I find would be helpful.

While I couldn’t find an app or a way for a warning to pop up on the email address upon entering, there is definitely a process to enable a double opt-in for your subscribers. Double opt-in requires customers to click a link in an email to confirm that they want to receive email and SMS marketing from you.

The confirmation email is sent automatically when someone enters their email address and subscribes in your online store. Keep in mind that customers who subscribe to your mailing before you enable double opt-in are not required to confirm their status.

You need to have the Online Store sales channel installed to enable double opt-in. You can customize your double opt-in email by clicking Settings > Notifications in your Shopify admin. For legal reasons, this email should not contain any marketing.

If you enable double opt-in, then you should update the newsletter form’s confirmation message in your online store so that customers know to check their email for a follow-up confirmation. Updating the confirmation message can help ensure more opt-ins. For example, your confirmation message could say something like “Check your email to confirm your subscription!”.

You edit the confirmation message in your Shopify admin by going to Online Store > Themes > the … button > Edit default theme content. Depending on your theme, the field is labeled either Confirmation under the Newsletter form section, or Post success under the Sign up section.

Steps:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Notifications.
  2. In the Email double opt-in section, check Require customers to confirm their subscription.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi @Pauline_EC ,

Great question! Using Google autocomplete for addresses during checkout helps with ease of use during the checkout process, so it makes sense that you would want to do something similar when a customer creates an account prior to checkout.

I’m happy to confirm that our Customer Fields app has a built-in feature that allows you to enable address autocomplete for customer registration/signup. Please note that this feature is just meant for autocomplete – meaning it does not do any validation to check whether or not the address is legitimate.

Here’s a doc with more details on the feature: https://help.heliumdev.com/en/articles/5614383-enable-autocomplete-for-address-fields-using-google-maps

Hopefully this helps! Please don’t hesitate to contact our Support team if you have questions or need assistance :hugs:

@Iris I believe OP was asking for physical address autocomplete, not email address verification/validation. Shopify has a feature for this (see screenshot below), but at the moment this only works on the checkout process.

Hi Iris,

Thank you very much for your answer but as Kyle said, I was more looking for a physical address autocomplete.
Your response was interesting though.

Best,
