How to Fix Order Fulfillment Address Validation Errors

Troubleshooting and resolving AliExpress address validation errors during order fulfillment

Address validation errors typically occur when the shipping address format doesn't match AliExpress's requirements. This is an API restriction from AliExpress, not an Importify issue.

Step-by-Step Resolution

1. Verify Required Address Components

   • Complete street address

   • City

   • State/Province

   • ZIP/Postal code

   • Valid phone number

   • Country

   • Customer's full name

2. Check Address Format

   

   • Use an address validation service like Smarty
     https://www.smarty.com/products/single-address

   • Remove special characters

   • Confirm ZIP code matches city and state

3. Manual Verification

   • Go to AliExpress directly
