Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce

by codeprosai

Description

Every extra field on your checkout is a chance for a customer to mistype, give up, or enter an address that creates problems later. Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce lets shoppers pick their address from Google Places suggestions as they type — then automatically fills in the city, postcode, and state for them.

The result: a faster checkout, fewer fat-finger typos in address fields, and less time your team spends deciphering what a customer actually meant to type.

Built for real stores. Works with both the classic WooCommerce checkout and the modern block (Gutenberg) checkout, on any WooCommerce-compatible theme.

Free vs Pro

Billing address autocomplete is free, forever — no account, no trial, no time limit. Install it and it works.

Pro unlocks shipping address autocomplete — so customers shipping to a different address get the same one-tap autofill. Pro also adds priority support, and the Agency plan adds unlimited sites and WordPress Multisite support.

See plans on the CodePros pricing page.

Why store owners use it

Faster checkout — customers select an address instead of typing every field by hand
Fewer address-entry typos — autofill puts the city, postcode, and state in the right fields automatically
Smoother experience — one less point of friction between cart and confirmation
Respects your store setup — suggestions only appear for the countries you sell to

Features

Google Places integration — accurate address suggestions powered by the Google Places API
Classic + block checkout — automatically detects your checkout type and loads the right implementation
Billing address autocomplete (free) — enable autocomplete on billing fields at no cost
Shipping address autocomplete (Pro) — unlock autocomplete on shipping fields with a Pro license
Auto-fill — populates city, postcode, and state when an address is selected
Country-aware — respects the country restrictions set in your WooCommerce settings, and updates suggestions when the customer changes country
Lightweight — scripts load only on the checkout page, and only when an API key is set and at least one address type is enabled
Simple setup — native WooCommerce settings tab; configure your API key and toggle features in minutes

How It Works

Add your Google Places API key and enable autocomplete for billing (free). As customers begin typing an address at checkout they’ll see Google Places suggestions; selecting one fills in the city, postcode, and state automatically. The plugin detects whether your store uses the classic or block checkout and loads the appropriate implementation, and only ever loads its scripts on the checkout page. To extend the same experience to shipping addresses, activate a Pro license.

Requirements

WooCommerce 5.0 or higher, installed and active
A Google Places API key (Google Cloud Console)
PHP 7.4 or higher
WordPress 6.6 or higher

External services

This plugin connects to the Google Maps/Places API to provide address autocomplete on the checkout form. When the feature is enabled and a customer types in an address field, the plugin sends the address query to Google’s servers. Google may also collect the user’s IP address and approximate location to return relevant suggestions. This service is provided by Google LLC. See the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

This plugin also connects to the CodePros License API (https://api.store.codepros.ai) to activate, validate, and deactivate Pro license keys. License requests may include the license key, the generated license key ID, the license key instance ID returned by activation, and the site name/identifier used for activation. The free version’s billing autocomplete works without contacting the License API. No customer address data is sent to the CodePros License API.

Example usage in the plugin:
include/AutocompleteAddress.php – Loads the Google Maps JavaScript API with the Places library
include/LicenseManager.php – Validates Pro license keys against the CodePros License API

Faq

What’s free and what’s paid?

Billing-address autocomplete is free forever — no trial, no account. Shipping-address autocomplete is a Pro feature: the shipping toggle is visible in settings and unlocks when you activate a Pro license. The Agency plan adds unlimited sites and WordPress Multisite support.

Does this validate or verify addresses?

No. The plugin provides address autocomplete using Google Places suggestions and auto-fills the city, postcode, and state when a customer selects a suggestion. It does not validate, verify, or correct addresses after entry.

Do I need a Google API key?

Yes. You need a valid Google Places API key, available free from the Google Cloud Console. Enable the Places API (New) for your project. This applies to both the free and Pro features.

Does it work with the WooCommerce block checkout?

Yes. The plugin fully supports the WooCommerce Blocks (Gutenberg) checkout as well as the classic checkout, and detects which one your store uses automatically.

Does it work with all WooCommerce themes?

Yes. It uses standard WooCommerce checkout field IDs and hooks, so it works across WooCommerce-compatible themes.

Can I use it for billing only?

Yes — billing autocomplete is the free feature and works on its own. Shipping autocomplete is added with Pro.

Does it respect my store’s country restrictions?

Yes. Suggestions only appear for countries enabled in your WooCommerce settings, and update when the customer changes country.

Will it slow down my checkout?

No. Scripts load only on the checkout page, in the footer, and only when an API key is set and at least one address type is enabled.

Is there a cost for the Google Places API?

Google Places uses usage-based pricing. See the Google Places API pricing page. Google provides free credits for new accounts, which may be enough for small to medium stores.

How do I upgrade to Pro?

Get a license from the CodePros pricing page, then go to WooCommerce > Settings > Autocomplete Address, enter your key in the License Key field, and click “Activate”. Shipping autocomplete unlocks once the key is verified.

Do I need Pro to run on multiple sites?

The free billing autocomplete can be used on any site. Pro licenses are per the plan you choose — single site, five sites, or the Agency plan for unlimited sites and WordPress Multisite. See the pricing page for details.

Is my license key stored securely?

Yes. License keys are encrypted with authenticated AES-256-GCM before storage, seeded with your WordPress authentication keys.
