Listed below are 3rd party Magento extensions we test against:

Step 1: Sign Up for an Account​

To use AddressZen, you’ll first need to create an account and get your API key.

  1. Sign up to create a free account.
  2. Navigate to the KEYS section in your account.
  3. Copy your API Key - you’ll need this to complete the setup in Magento. It’s a string of characters that begins with the letters ak_.

Step 2: Install the Magento Plugin​

You have three ways to install the AddressZen plugin for Magento: directly through the Magento Marketplace, via Composer, or manually.

Method A: Install via Magento Marketplace​

This is the simplest method to integrate address verification into your Magento store.

You can purchase the extension from Magento Marketplace for free.

Method B: Install via Composer​

  1. Install via composer using this command
$ composer require addresszen/magento
  1. Execute the following commands to complete the installation:
magento module:enable Addresszen_Lookup
magento setup:upgrade
magento setup:di:compile
magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Method C: Install Manually​

  1. Load the repository into your Magento directory
  2. app/code/Addresszen/Lookup needs to be present in your Magento codebase
  3. Retrieve the extension by the following methods:

  • Download and "untar" from our releases page

  • Git clone this project

    $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/addresszen/magento.git

  • Git clone a specific version

    $ git clone --branch <tag> --depth=1 https://github.com/addresszen/magento.git
  1. Execute the following commands to complete the installation:
magento module:enable Addresszen_Lookup
magento setup:upgrade
magento setup:di:compile
magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Step 3: Plugin Setup​

  1. Once the plugin is installed, it’s time to configure it.
  2. Head to the administration page. Click Stores Menu -> Configuration -> Services Tab -> AddressZen.
  3. Enter your API Key (the one you copied when signing up) in the designated field. You can always find the API Key under KEYS in your AddressZen account.
