Aetos Saudi Checkout Phone

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.
