> Set up post-checkout validation on Thank You and Order Status pages to detect and resolve shipping address issues after purchase.

## Post-checkout validation setup

Post-checkout validation runs **after checkout**.

It checks addresses on the **Thank You** and **Order Status** pages.

This is useful if you want lower checkout friction while still catching issues.
