Description

Aetos Saudi Checkout Phone helps Saudi WooCommerce stores prevent malformed mobile numbers from reaching new orders.

When a billing or shipping address uses Saudi Arabia as its country, the plugin validates a supplied mobile number and stores accepted values in one consistent form: +9665XXXXXXXX.

Accepted input

The same Saudi mobile can be entered in common local or international forms:

  • 05XXXXXXXX
  • 5XXXXXXXX
  • 9665XXXXXXXX
  • +9665XXXXXXXX
  • 009665XXXXXXXX

Spaces, hyphens, periods, and parentheses are accepted. Western digits, Arabic-Indic digits, and Eastern Arabic/Persian digits are supported.

Validation follows the current Saudi mobile network-code structure published by the Communications, Space & Technology Commission. It checks format and current mobile prefixes, not number ownership or service status.

Focused behavior

  • Works with WooCommerce classic checkout.
  • Works with WooCommerce Checkout Blocks and the Store API.
  • Normalizes billing and shipping mobile values before WooCommerce saves them.
  • Leaves non-Saudi addresses unchanged.
  • Leaves an empty optional phone field empty, so WooCommerce keeps control of required or optional field behavior.
  • Adds no checkout JavaScript, settings screen, database table, cookie, analytics, or external request.

This plugin validates Saudi mobile-number format only. It does not send an OTP, verify ownership, confirm that a line is active, identify a carrier, or validate landline numbers.

Privacy

The plugin does not collect, transmit, or separately store personal data. It only validates and normalizes phone values that WooCommerce is already processing for checkout.

  1. Install and activate WooCommerce 8.9 or newer.

Does the plugin make the phone field required?

No. It respects WooCommerce’s existing required, optional, or hidden setting. A non-empty Saudi phone value is validated; an empty optional value remains empty.

Does it verify that the number belongs to the shopper?

No. It checks format locally. It does not send an OTP or contact a telephone service.

Does it support Arabic numbers?

Yes. Arabic-Indic and Eastern Arabic/Persian digits are converted safely before validation.

Does it support Checkout Blocks?

Yes. Version 1.0.0 validates Checkout Block and Store API addresses as well as classic checkout.

Does it change phone numbers for other countries?

No. It only acts when the related billing or shipping country is Saudi Arabia (SA).

Does it send data to Aetos or another service?

No. Validation and normalization happen on your WordPress server. The plugin makes no external request.
