Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce – Gatemi

A shopper starts typing and picks their address from a list. Your own Google key, your own quota; nothing goes through us. It never replaces a field WooCommerce's own address inputs stay exactly where they are, underneath the search box. If your key is missing, your referrer restriction bites, your quota runs out, an ad blocker gets in the way, or Google has a bad afternoon, the checkout works precisely as it did before this plugin was installed. That is the one failure in this category that costs orders, and it is avoided by never replacing anything. On the far side of Google's migration Google has deprecated its old autocomplete widget in favour of PlaceAutocompleteElement. This plugin uses the new element, so it ships on the far side of that migration rather than needing a rewrite immediately. Where the new element is not available it stands down, rather than falling back to the thing Google is removing. Your key is not a secret, and we do not pretend it is A Maps JavaScript key is handed to every shopper's browser — that is how it works, and there is nowhere to hide it. So the field is not masked. What protects it is an HTTP-referrer restriction in Google's own console, and the settings screen says so right beside the field. What you get

• Autocomplete on the checkout and the My Account address editor
• Billing and shipping, each switchable
• Suggestions limited to the countries you sell to — up to five, Google's own limit — which lowers your Google bill
• Nothing loaded at all on a store with no key — or on a page with no address on it, because that would be a paid Google call for nothing
• No data of yours or your shoppers' sent anywhere but Google

The full edition Gatemi Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce is a separate plugin, sold on gatemi.com, that adds changing how Google's address parts map onto your checkout fields, pinning a Maps version or region, and a filter that limits autocomplete to the shoppers a store names.
