The problem

gmial.com, hotmial.com, yaho.com, checkout typos are a silent revenue leak. The customer thinks they'll get an order confirmation; you think you have a reachable buyer. Both of you are wrong, and the first symptom is a 'where is my order?' support ticket you can't reply to.

With Encrata

The validity check returns a did_you_mean suggestion when it detects a likely typo. Show it inline, 'Did you mean sara@gmail.com?', and let the customer fix it in one tap before the order completes. It's the cheapest conversion-rate improvement you'll ship this quarter.

How it works

1

Send the address

Call the validity endpoint with the email address at the moment it enters your system, a form, an import, a checkout.

2

We ask the mail server

Encrata checks syntax, domain and mailbox directly with the receiving server, and flags disposable and typo domains.

3

Act on the verdict

Accept, reject or suggest a correction based on a clear valid / invalid / catch-all / risky verdict. One credit per check.

One call, structured answer

Typo Correction runs on the email validity lookup at 1 credit per lookup. Same API key, same JSON shape as every other Encrata lookup.

  • Answers come from the mail server itself, not a guess from patterns
  • Disposable and throwaway domains are flagged before they cost you anything
  • 1 credit per check, cheap enough to run on every address you touch
  • Cached results are free, so repeated checks never double-charge

}

Catch typos in the moment

Wire the check into checkout's email field on blur: if the verdict is invalid and did_you_mean is present, render the suggestion as a one-tap chip under the field. Never auto-correct silently, the suggestion is probabilistic, and the customer should confirm. For flows where speed matters more than precision, only surface suggestions for the top typo domains (gmial, hotmial, yaho) where confidence is highest.

Recovered revenue you can measure

Measure it as recovered revenue: every accepted suggestion is an order confirmation that would have vanished. Stores typically find 1–3% of checkout emails carry a correctable typo, small percentage, meaningful volume. The same field-level check also blocks the truly dead addresses, so post-purchase flows (shipping updates, review requests) start from a clean base.
