Order Editing on the Thank You and Order Status Pages

New Feature: Post-Checkout Address Editing

We’re excited to introduce a new feature in Address Validator that allows customers to edit their shipping address after completing checkout, even if the address has already been validated.
​

This gives your customers a second chance to fix mistakes and helps prevent failed deliveries, returns, and support tickets.
​


Important Requirement

To use this feature, you must have Post-Checkout Validation enabled.

This means:

  • The Address Validator app block must be added to your Thank You / Order Status page

Without this setup, customers will not be able to edit their address after checkout.

Why This Feature Matters
​

Address issues don’t always come from invalid entries. In many cases, customers may:

  • Select a saved address that isn’t correct

  • Enter a valid address that belongs to someone else

  • Be sending a gift and accidentally use the wrong shipping details

  • Realize a mistake after completing checkout

With this feature, customers can update their address post-checkout, regardless of whether:

  • They passed validation during checkout, or

  • They were never prompted to validate their address
    ​



How It Works

Address Validator > Essential Setup > Address Prompts > Order editing on the Thank You and Order Status pages > ​


Once enabled, customers will see an option to edit their shipping address on the:

  • Thank You page

  • Order Status page



How to Configure the Edit Time Window

You can control how long customers have to update their address after checkout:

Steps:

  1. Go to Address Validator

  2. Navigate to Settings

  3. Click General

  4. Open Advanced Options

  5. Adjust:
    ​“How much time does the customer have to update the order after the checkout is complete?”
    ​

This allows you to balance flexibility for customers while keeping fulfillment timelines on track.
​

​

Optional Settings: Control What Customers Can Change

To help you avoid unexpected changes to taxes or shipping rates, we provide two optional settings:
​

Allow customers to change the state

  • Changing the state may affect taxes on the order

  • Tax recalculation is not automatic

  • Review your store tax settings if changes are made


Allow customers to change the country

  • Changing the country may affect:

    • Shipping rates

    • VAT

    • Import duties

  • These are not recalculated automatically

  • Review and adjust charges if needed


Conclusion

With Post-Checkout Address Editing, you give your customers flexibility while protecting your business from costly delivery issues.
​

By allowing address updates even after validation, you ensure:

  • Fewer failed deliveries

  • Better customer experience

  • Reduced support workload
