Storefront Address Format

This guide explains how customers should enter shipping addresses at storefront checkout.

It is provider-neutral and applies to your storefront address fields regardless of whether shipping is fulfilled by Shippo or built-in local rules.

Required Checkout Fields​

For the most reliable delivery quotes and labels, collect:

  • Street address line (house/building + street)
  • City
  • Country (ISO-2 code)

Recommended:

  • Region/State
  • Postal code

Street Address Examples​

Good:

  • 350 5th Ave
  • 12 Mombasa Road, Industrial Area
  • 1 Dr Carlton B Goodlett Pl

Avoid:

  • Nairobi
  • Kenya
  • Near market

Country Format​

Use uppercase ISO-2 country codes:

  • US
  • KE
  • NG
  • ZA
  • AE

Why This Matters​

  • Better shipping rate accuracy
  • Fewer checkout failures
  • Cleaner fulfillment labels
