The TMS Address Validation plugin is required to check that the address the order must be shipped to is correct. This helps you avoid penalty fees for incorrect addresses, particularly on small parcel orders.

The address validation feedback will display in the Address Validation column in the TMS Order Query screen’s data grid.

Address Validation Step

Most of the logic within the TMS module is based on plugins, and not core code. This is because we deal with external cloud-based solutions (ProShip, Logistyx, FreightPOP, etc.) via our plugins, and these external TMS systems integrate with FedEx, UPS, USPS, and other Carriers.
