What is the Address Verify section for?
The Address Verify section has listed all orders in which the Shipping Address is either incomplete or incorrect and for this reason, users have to be manually verified each one of them.
There are cases in which orders have been already screened by Melissa, but this software was not able to correct the address due to a lack of information, or the details don’t match any existing address, so Melissa is unable to find a match in its database. In such cases, the orders' shipping addresses have to be revised and update manually.
Where the Address Verify section is located?
Log into CRM and go to the left-side menu
Scroll down and click on Address Verification
And then on Address Verify.
What is on the Address Verify page?
On the Address Verify page, the user has on the top of it a few fields, to search for orders
Additionally, underneath the search, there is a table in which are listed all orders that are having issues with the Shipping Address (see below example):
On the table, on each column appear a piece of specific order information:
Address 1: This is the first line of the shipping address, which is the street/road name and the building number
Address 2: any additional information on the shipping address, for example, the house/apartment number
City
Zip Code
Country
Verification Result: this is strictly related to Melissa and how it works. In this column, users can check the level of the verification and by hovering the mouse on the “i” icon on the right side of each order, a tooltip appears informing the level of verification that Melissa was able to reach when the order was placed:
It’s important to highlight that addresses are verified on various levels. A shipping address is considered 100% verified and correct when the house/flat or building number is available, otherwise it will be verified up to certain other levels, such as Locality Partial, Premise Partial, Thoroughfare Partial, etc.
To understand each one of the levels, please click on the Show Legend button, located at the bottom of the page, which will display all Verification Results with related explanations:
Tracking Numbers: it’s a YES | NO answer. If the orders related to the Shipping Address have been shipped, then the field will display a YES.
Actions: all Actions buttons are displayed to make adjustments on each order shipping address
Created Date: it’s the date when the order was placed
Last Updated: last update was made on the shipping address

How the Address Verification Process works
1. Melissa checks and corrects the orders. The first step is done by Melissa (Address Validator), which filters all orders whose shipping address has been flagged because some information was missing or wrong and amends them.
However, there are cases in which orders have been already screened by Melissa, but this software was not able to correct the address due to lack of information, or the details don’t match any existing address, so Melissa is unable to find a match in its database. In such cases, the orders' shipping addresses have to be revised and update manually.
2. When addresses have to be updated manually, they are displayed in the Address Verify section, under the Address Verification.
Go to the left side menu and select Address Verification
Address Verify
On the right side of the page the list of all orders, which address has to be verified, is displayed
Orders which Shipping Address is incomplete or incorrect are not sent to be fulfilled. In other words, they will remain in Paid status until an user will update its data.
Moreover, orders whose shipping address needs to be corrected are marked with the Pending Address Verification flag at the top of their page:
3. Users need to check and update order by order.
According to the procedure, the Customer Service contact via email/phone the customer requesting to confirm the correct address. Once the right address is provided by the customer, the Customer Service team updates the information in CRM and the order is sent for fulfilment.
How to update a Shipping Address
Update a Shipping Address from the Verify Address page
Start editing the shipping address directly on the Address Verify page, by double-checking the order details in the columns: Address1, Address 2, City, State, Zip Code Country.
Please note that there may be cases in which it still Melissa helps to correct the address, through a tab that will pop up providing the address that has just been changed, and the address suggested by Melissa (see the below example)
The user can choose which address is most correct and click on the Update button on the tab to save the changes.
Once the changes have been made, go to the Actions column and click on the Save Changes button to finalize the task
Then hit the Save button
When clicking on the Save button, if there are other orders linked to this Shipping Address, the system will ask users to confirm whether the Shipping Address for these other orders should be modified too
To confirm the address changes for these other orders, users need to turn on the toggle Allow change (see the below example)
Once saved the changes, the system, also, will leave an automatic note on the order page, specifically in the Notes section, informing that the shipping address was modified, when, and by whom (see the below example)
Once the verification has been made, the order is sent to be fulfilled. Moreover, it will be also automatically moved to the Address Verification>All Verified section, where are displayed all orders whose shipping address was previously modified (see the below example)
