Validation rules for fields

Learn how to use validation rules in your checkout.

Article ID: SLN19045

Checkout & Registration Manager allows you to set validation rules for certain standard fields (name, address 1 & 2, email) and for custom fields. Validation rules can only be applied to text box field types where buyers enter information.

You can select from four different field validation rules:

  • Disable - Removes all validation of the field input.
  • Email - Checks input for valid email pattern; note this does not verify that the email entered exists or is genuine--only that it follows the standard email address pattern (username@somedomain.tld).
  • Number - Checks that input is numerical.
  • Number range - Checks that input is numerical and between a stated range (for example 123 is between 0 and 200).
