You can use 'assert' to check and verify the data.

Its not about Appium.. Its about ur test case logic and framework.

Ideally ur test script should be written such that, you pass all the test data in proper format. [Ex : Whether to apply discount, if applied what is the final price, what is the shipping address you are setting]
Once you pass these data to your test case, it can be asserted against the value shown in screen[by using Appium findElement api]

example code :

           String expectedAddressLine1 = "Test 1";
           String actualAddressLine1 = driver.findElementById("xyz").getText();

           Assert.assertTrue(expectedAddressLine1.equalsIgnoreCase(actualAddressLine1), "Address Mismatch!")

Note : I am using TestNG Assert class above.
