WooCommerce store owners know the pain of incurring losses due to packages with invalid addresses being undelivered — it’s a common problem for most store owners and recent research has shown companies are particularly hit by customers filling out address fields incorrectly during holiday sales like Black Friday.
What if there was a way to help you end delivery delays caused by an incorrect address entry? What if we could help customers fill their address entry using Google’s Address Autocomplete (suggestion) feature?
Introducing Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce. Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce is an intelligent yet easy-to-use extension that allows you to sync your site with Google Maps’ location detector at the checkout page. This saves your customers time and effort when filling out their checkout form’s address fields.
As soon as the customer selects their location on the map, Google Address auto-complete (via Google API) automatically fetches their Address, Country, City, State, and Zipcode and auto-fills the data against the relevant field. Moreover, if the customer suggests a location or zip code, the system will display a list of suitable locations to choose from.
Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce is the ultimate solution for WooCommerce stores that face problems like shipping to the incorrect address due to wrong address input.
Google Address Autocomplete feature adds a text input field to your WooCommerce checkout page that gives the users suggestions based on the text entry. These predictions are displayed in the form of a drop-down list.
The admin can enable different shipping methods and set them to specific locations. For example, the admin can assign a free shipping method to the residents of Texas. Users who select Texas as their state in the address field will automatically have free shipping at checkout.
You can restrict customers of specific countries from purchasing items on your WooCommerce store. Although the customer will be able to add items to their cart, they will not be able to complete the checkout process.
You can restrict specific shipping methods from zones and zone regions. The countries set in these zones can be added from the backend settings. You can choose to exclude multiple countries simultaneously in this feature.
Display Google Maps on checkout that will allow users to see the location of the address they’re searching. The map will update in real-time and show the pointer to the address of the customer.
Allow your customers to choose their address by dragging and dropping the pointer on the map shown at checkout. The map pointer will fetch the address details and reflect them onto the address fields.
