About Google Address Autocomplete Feature

The Google Places API Web Service and Place Autocomplete share a usage quota as described in the Usage Limits documentation for Google Places API Web Service. These usage limits can be lifted by placing a request to google as explained in their article. The daily usage is calculated as the sum of client-side and server-side requests combined.

Google Address Autocomplete feature adds a text input field to your woocommerce checkout page, and monitors that field for character entries. As the user enters text, google autocomplete returns place predictions in the form of a dropdown pick list. See more details here.

This would have to be one of the best plugins for autocomplete address fields. I love the ability to choose which countries you want to display as most other plugin, when you start typing the street name often Chinese locations start to appear first where with this plugin you can choose what you want to display. I will most likely end up getting the paid version with the extra features. Love the ability to be able to validate addresses as well.

Arguably the MOST critical part of an ecommerce website is the delivery address. After three years of having ~1% of my orders get returned to center due to an incorrect or undeliverable address from the customer I finally found this plugin. Installation was ridiculously easy, with the most difficult part being figuring out how to get the proper Google API key (Elex does a good job documenting, it’s just a funky UI from Google). If that wasn’t good enough, I immediately had a question about customizing the plugin (the second street address would be automatically populated with a neighborhood value if available from Google, and I wanted it to stay blank). I sent the developer an email, and to my shock they had a modified .zip in my inbox ~6 hours later that works exactly as I’d described to them. All in all, excellent solution for an extremely important problem for any ecommerce site. Wish I’d found this 3 years ago!
