 * Hi,
 * Is there any way to put an address validation on the address fields?
 * I don’t mean the Google places add-on, because that just shows the address while
   you type if I’m correct?
 * Thanks,
    Nathan

 * Hello [@natedanielz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natedanielz/)
 * To validate an address, you should compare it with a third-party service, a database,
   etc. The plugin includes the Google Places add-on to facilitate the entering 
   address process but does not validate it.
 * A possible alternative would be to use the DISTANCE operation. If you use the
   DISTANCE operation to get the distance between a known address and the address
   entered by the user and it returns a number, you can ensure that at least the
   user entered an existing address.
 * Best regards.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the information. I’m going to look into it.
 * One last question. Is it possible that with certain validation plugins/API’s 
   to integrate it into CFF?
 * I’m pretty clueless to address validation, so before I’m going to do extensive
   research and try things out I would want to know if that’s even possible.
 * Regards,
    Nathan

 * Hello [@natedanielz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natedanielz/)
 * If you want to validate the address entered by the user with a third-party service,
   you can implement a server-side equation that calls the service, or you can use
   the cffProxy operation on the client-side. More information about both alternatives
   by reading the following posts in the plugin’s blog:
