Improve Your Magento 2 Webshop with Smart Address Validation

A smart address validation plugin for Magento 2 does more than just fill in addresses. It improves the quality of your customer data, reduces return costs, and gives customers a more professional checkout experience.

What Makes Our Plugin Unique?

The ApiCheck Magento 2 extension combines four features in one:

  1. Automatic address completion — postal code + house number → street + city
  2. Address validation — checking whether the address actually exists
  3. International support — the Netherlands, Belgium, and 15+ other countries
  4. User-friendly UX — immediate feedback without reloading the page

Benefits for the Checkout

Without ApiCheck With ApiCheck

Errors only discovered at delivery Errors corrected immediately
Manual customer service handling Automatically prevented
Higher chance of checkout abandonment Faster, smoother checkout

What Customers Say

"Very happy with this service! Been using it for my webshop since June 2023. Really great that the system also validates Belgian addresses."

"We are very pleased with the APIcheck plugin because it works excellently and is certainly not expensive."

How Does the Plugin Work?

  1. Customer enters postal code + house number
  2. The plugin sends a request to the ApiCheck API
  3. Street name and city are automatically filled in on the form
  4. Customer visually checks the address and continues

Everything happens within milliseconds, with no visible loading time for the customer.

Installation in Three Steps

  1. Download the extension via apicheck.nl or the Magento Marketplace
  2. Activate with your ApiCheck API key
  3. Configure which countries you want to support and whether email validation should also be active

No customization, no complex configuration. The plugin works immediately after activation.

Conclusion

The ApiCheck Magento 2 extension is a straightforward investment that pays for itself right away. Fewer returns, higher customer satisfaction, and a more professional checkout — for less than 1 cent per validation.
