The SyliusExtendedCheckout Plugin enhances the checkout experience on your Sylius-based e-commerce platform by requiring phone numbers during the addressing step of the checkout process. It adds an extra layer of validation, thereby improving data accuracy and enabling more efficient communication with customers.

Features:

Phone Number Validation

The plugin performs a thorough verification of the phone number entered in the Addressing Checkout Form. Three levels of validation are applied:

• Non-Blank Verification: Ensures that the phone number field is not left empty, reducing the chances of incomplete or inaccurate data.

• Range Verification: Allows only phone numbers with a length between 10 and 11 digits. This range has been optimized for the most common phone number formats, helping to standardize the customer data.

• Pattern Matching: Validates that the entry contains only numerical values, eliminating any potential formatting errors or other symbol-based inaccuracies.

Configurability

While the plugin comes with predefined validation rules, future releases are slated to include a configuration file. This will provide the flexibility to customize phone number validation rules, such as minimum and maximum length or specific patterns, through YAML configuration files or environmental variables.

Compatibility

This plugin seamlessly integrates with your existing Sylius setup, maintaining the native look and feel of your online store, while providing additional functionality.

Business Value

• Data Accuracy: The plugin enhances data reliability by validating customer phone numbers. Accurate phone numbers are critical for effective customer communication and can play a crucial role in timely order fulfillment.
