[19.0] Contact Address Validation — Full Suite

Contact Address Validation Suite — Full Suite (5 Modules · 3 Providers)

One address validation framework, three world-class providers. Verify every contact address is real and deliverable with Google, PostGrid, or Smarty — same button, same dialog, same stored verdict, whichever provider you choose. Switch providers from Settings at any time; your users never notice the difference.

Contact Validation Suite brings professional address verification to Odoo Contacts through a single, provider-agnostic framework backed by three providers: the Google Address Validation API, PostGrid, and Smarty. Users verify, standardize, and geocode addresses with one click from the Contact form — the provider working behind the button is a Settings choice, not an architectural commitment.

The suite is built in two layers: a foundation layer (verification fields, lifecycle, review dialog, search filters, chatter audit trail, provider registry) shared by every provider, and three provider adapters that each handle their own API communication server-side — credentials never reach the browser. Install one adapter or all three; switching the active provider is a dropdown in Settings.

Each provider's verdict is stored verbatim — Google's Valid / Needs Review / Invalid, PostGrid's Verified / Corrected / Failed, Smarty's delivery-point DPV statuses — while a shared severity (green / yellow / red) gives users and filters one consistent language across providers. Compliance is built in: adapters declare whether their terms allow storing standardized addresses, and the framework enforces it automatically — PostGrid and Smarty results are kept on the record, while Google's standardized address is display-only per Google Maps Platform terms.

• No vendor lock-in, ever — switch providers via a Settings dropdown, not a migration project

• Audit-ready data quality — stored, searchable verdict and chatter entry on every verification
• Compliance enforced automatically — storage policy differences between providers are handled by the framework, not left to user discipline
