Ensure Accurate Deliveries with Missing Street Name Validation

A complete and accurate delivery address is essential for successful order fulfillment. While missing house numbers are a common issue, addresses without a street name can be just as problematic—often rendering a shipment undeliverable. Missing Street Name Validation helps prevent these errors by ensuring customers provide all required address components before completing checkout.

Why Street Names Are Essential for Shipping

Shipping carriers rely on structured address data to route packages correctly. An address that includes only a building number, neighborhood, or other partial information cannot be reliably matched to a delivery location. Missing street names can lead to:

• Undeliverable or misrouted packages

• Delivery delays and return-to-sender fees

• Increased manual intervention from support teams

• Frustration and loss of customer trust

Catching these issues at checkout is the most effective way to avoid downstream shipping problems.

How Missing Street Name Validation Works

When the Missing Street Name rule is enabled, the system automatically evaluates the delivery address entered during checkout. If the street name is missing or invalid, customers are prompted to correct the address before moving forward.

This validation is powered by Valider’s world-class address database, which collaborates with industry-leading carriers and logistics providers such as USPS, FedEx, DHL, and other trusted shipping partners. This ensures address checks are performed with a high degree of accuracy and reliability across regions.

Key Features

Universal Rule Application

The rule applies to all checkouts by default, without the need for custom conditions or configuration. This makes it easy to maintain consistent address quality across orders.

Inline Error Display

Error messages can be shown directly below the address input field, guiding customers clearly and immediately to the missing information.

Customizable Messaging

Merchants can tailor the error text to match their brand voice. For example:
“Your address is missing street name.”
Clear, concise messaging helps customers resolve issues quickly.

When to Use Missing Street Name Validation

This rule is especially valuable for businesses that:

• Ship physical goods

• Serve multiple regions with varying address formats

• Want to minimize address-related delivery issues

• Depend on strict carrier address requirements

If complete street-level address information is required for fulfillment, enabling this validation rule provides a strong safeguard.

Conclusion

Missing street names may seem like a small oversight, but they can have a major impact on delivery success. By enabling Missing Street Name Validation, businesses can proactively prevent shipping errors, streamline operations, and deliver a smoother checkout experience. It’s a simple, effective way to ensure every order starts with the right address.
