Speeding up checkout with an address autocomplete plugin

It’s vital in eCommerce to ensure a customer can quickly enter their billing details and get through the payment process with as little fuss as possible.

Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce is an intelligent yet easy-to-use extension that allows you to sync your site with Google’s Address Autocomplete API at the checkout page. This saves your customers time and effort when filling out their checkout form’s address fields.

That’s why I’m interested in WooCommerce’s address autocomplete plugin to quickly return location results as soon as you start typing.

The idea is primarily to save time but it’s also useful to prevent typing errors, e.g. a zip code entered incorrectly in a rush.

It works like this:

  1. The plugin regroups and hides the components of the address: address_1, address_2, city, state, postcode, country.
  2. It adds a new “Address field” based on the Google Address Autocomplete API.
  3. The user begins to type the address and Google completes it.
  4. The user chooses the correct address among Google suggestions.
  5. The hidden field appears, automatically filled with data.
