Feature request to double check shipping address

It would be awesome if we could get some type of obvious flashy warning for order where the Paypal address do not match the shipping address. Even though I put disclaimer on my site for customers to ensure their Paypal address is up to date I often have missmatch (I can't really blame the customer). Eventually I ended missing one and sending an order to the wrong address thankfully a very small one.

    I would agree with that in principle, but there are often small differences even between matching BrickOwl and Paypal addresses.

    Ideally, BrickOwl would have to compute a metric such as the Levenshtein distance (ideally an improved version to move multiple characters) between the strings, and verify if it's over a certain threshold. I have C code for that stuff if Lawrence wants a reference implementation.

    What about normalizing the addresses and comparing ? I understand the normalization is not trivial but I think there are some free services online at least for the US.
