WooCommerce Address Autocomplete & Verification / Validation
If your business has tried to ship to an invalid address, you know it has cost you both time and money to resend the order to the customer. Never worry about this hassle again! Add simply address verification, automatic completion or postal code search to your WooCommerce checkout.
Postal code / address verification simplifies your order process and improves the quality of your order address by letting your customer validate or look up their address during the checkout process. Improve your bottom line and customer satisfaction with address validation!
When verifying postcodes / addresses, your business is connected with a service that enables searching for addresses or postcodes. You can use Loqate, SmartyStreets, Postcode.nl, PostcodeSoftware.net or Crafty Clicks.
We recommend Loqate for Europe including auto-completion.
Address automatic completion
Automatic address completion is available with Loqate, which works for merchants in every country. With a paid Loqate account, your customers can automatically complete addresses in any country and addresses can be classified as „private“ or „commercial“.
Merchants in every country worldwide can sign up for a Loqate account* to get started.
