English term or phrase: POA RECEIVED
This is the title of a web page (visible on the tab).

Here is the body of the text:

"Hi *customer name*,

Thank you for sending us that extra information. We're happy to tell you your order will be sent out as soon as possible.

Your account has been cleared for future use as long as you use the same account details as the ones you have just provided, so why not make the most of it? Click here to shop the site now. [...]"

I am unsure of the meaning of "POA". I was thinking "proof of account".
Could anyone help, please?

proof of address received
Explanation:
Given the context, the first thing that sprang to mind is proof of address, which is often required to confirm or unblock an account or confirm delivery address. It can take various forms, including passport, driving license, utility bills, credit card statement etc.

A national identity card or drivers licence can also serve as proof of addres, if it contains the residential address and if such document is provided in addition to the passport of the same individual.

poa received
Purchase Order Acknowledgement


Explanation:
I believe that acknowledgement in the sense of acceptance is meant here, i.e. that the order has been released for further processing (shipment)

POA
Purchase Order Agreement


Explanation:
Based on the context provided where it says, "...future use as long as you use the same account details as the ones you have just provided"</> I would assume the provider just received this POA from the customer; that is the Purchase Order Agreement that includes all the necessary account details for future purchases. This agreement allows the parties to complete transactions without having to sign a new POA each time a new order is placed (as long as there is no change in the account details, i.e. banking information, address, etc.).
