Bring Address, Phone, and Email Validation to Your PrestaShop 9 Store

The Fetchify address search and validation module for PrestaShop has just received an update that broadens compatibility with the latest PrestaShop releases and tidies up a couple of configuration details that were tripping up store owners.

What Fetchify Does
For anyone unfamiliar, Fetchify adds three core capabilities to a PrestaShop checkout or address form:

● Address Auto-Complete — as a customer types into the Address Search field, the module surfaces matching address suggestions for the selected country, cutting down on typos and abandoned forms.

● UK Postcode Lookup — for UK addresses specifically, customers can enter their postcode and click the "Find Address" button that Fetchify adds to the form. This generates a dropdown of matching addresses to choose from, auto-filling the rest of the fields.

● Phone and Email Validation — as customers fill in their contact details, Fetchify validates the format in real time, showing a green checkmark for valid entries or a red cross for invalid ones.

What's New in 2.5.0
Released on June 29, 2026, this update has been tested against:
● PrestaShop 9.0.3 with the Classic theme
● PrestaShop 9.0.3 with the Hummingbird theme
● PrestaShop 9.1.4 with the Classic theme
● PrestaShop 9.1.4 with the Hummingbird theme

Three changes headline this release:

  1. PrestaShop 9.0 and 9.1 support — merchants running the newest major version of PrestaShop, on either the Classic or Hummingbird theme, can now run Fetchify without compatibility concerns.

  2. A cleaner UK postcode configuration — previously, there was a config option that allowed the UK postcode "Find Address" button to appear even when a customer had selected a non-UK country, which was a source of confusion for both merchants setting things up and customers seeing a UK-specific button on a non-UK form. That option has been removed, so the button now only appears when it's actually relevant.

  3. Reorganized autocomplete settings — the Address Auto-Complete configuration screen has been reordered so that related options sit together, with the most important settings (like "Show logo" and "Lock country field") moved to the top of the list. This is a backend-only change with no effect on storefront behaviour, but it should make the module noticeably easier to configure, especially for merchants setting it up for the first time.

Should You Update?

If your store is running PrestaShop 9.0 or 9.1, this update is essentially required to keep Fetchify working correctly. Even on earlier PrestaShop versions, the postcode button fix and the cleaner settings layout are welcome bits of housekeeping that make the module simpler to live with. As always, test on a staging environment before rolling out to production, particularly if you've customised your address forms or checkout theme.
