Everything the app knows about an order’s address lands on the order itself, as one of two tags. There’s no separate inbox to check and no report to pull. If you understand the two tags, you understand the whole signal.
address-unverified: this order needs your eyes
Set the moment verification finds anything other than a clean pass. That covers a suggested correction the buyer hasn’t acted on yet, a missing unit number, an undeliverable address, and also the rare case where we couldn’t verify at all because the verification service was unreachable. The tag lands even when the buyer closes the page without engaging, so the signal never depends on buyer cooperation.
The important nuance: the tag stays on if the buyer chooses to keep their address. A buyer declining the fix is their choice, not your all-clear. We leave the tag so you can make your own call before the parcel ships, especially on a high-value order.
address-corrected: the problem was fixed
Set when a fix actually lands on the order: the buyer accepted the suggested address, edited their address into a verifiable one, or a pure formatting standardization was applied automatically. The address-unverified tag is removed at the same time. An order tagged address-corrected ships to an address verified against carrier data, and the corrected version is already on the order, visible to your fulfillment flow like any other address.
If a buyer undoes an automatic standardization, the address-corrected tag comes off and nothing replaces it. The original address was deliverable, so re-flagging it would be noise.
How to work with them
The workflow that fits most stores is one saved filter:
- In Shopify admin, open Orders and search
tag:address-unverified. - Save it as a view (“Address review” works).
- Glance at it before your fulfillment cutoff. Most days it’s empty or one order deep.
For each order in the view, you decide: ship as entered, fix it yourself from the buyer’s order confirmation details, or contact the buyer. The order page’s timeline and the prompt the buyer saw don’t always agree by the time you look, because buyers fix addresses from the order status page hours after ordering. An order can leave your review view on its own when its tag flips to address-corrected.
We deliberately don’t email you about every flagged order. The tag plus a saved view does the same job inside the admin you already work in, without another notification stream to mute.
Automating on the tags
Both tags are plain Shopify order tags, so anything that can react to a tag can react to these: order printers, fulfillment apps, your 3PL’s import rules, and Shopify Flow. If you want flagged orders held or routed automatically, the Flow recipes are the place to start.
