Pre-checkout address validation by carrier rules, priced per validation — works for DTC and cross-border.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "shipping / address" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Shopify Community, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
