Managing Woo Commerce Address Autocomplete

After installing and activating the plugin, open Address Autocomplete via Woo commerce Settings. The setup is really super simple.

Setting	Description	Default
Enable Autocomplete	Master switch to enable or disable address autocomplete on checkout	Enabled
Address Provider	Choose between Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) or Photon (Komoot) as the address data source	Nominatim
Billing Address	Enable autocomplete for billing address fields	Enabled
Shipping Address	Enable autocomplete for shipping address fields	Enabled

The plugin supports two free address lookup providers. Both use OpenStreetMap data and require no API keys or registration.

Region Restriction

The Region Restriction feature, which is a very hot feature and widely asked for,  ensures that address suggestions only show locations where you actually deliver. This prevents customers from entering addresses in countries you don’t ship to.

Setting	Description	Default
Use WooCommerce Shipping Zones	Automatically detect allowed countries from your WooCommerce shipping zones configuration	Enabled
Detected Shipping Countries	Displays the countries detected from your shipping zones (read-only)	–
Additional Allowed Countries	Manually add extra countries in addition to those from shipping zones	None
Block Invalid Addresses	Prevent checkout if the selected address is in a country you don’t ship to	Enabled

💡 Digital Products / No Shipping Zones:

The plugin seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce Shipping Zones to automatically determine which countries to allow for address suggestions.

How It Works

1. 1. The plugin reads your WooCommerce shipping zone configuration
   2. It extracts all countries that have at least one shipping method configured
   3. These countries are displayed in the “Detected Shipping Countries” section
   4. Address suggestions are automatically filtered to only show these countries

Supported Shipping Zone Types

• • Entire Countries: When you add a whole country to a shipping zone
  • States/Regions: The parent country is detected and included
  • Postcodes: The parent country is detected and included
  • “Locations not covered”: If you have a zone for remaining locations, the plugin handles this appropriately

View Shipping Zone Details

Click the “View shipping zones details” link in the settings to expand a detailed view of which countries are in which zones, helping you understand how the plugin determines allowed regions.

Advanced Settings

Fine-tune the autocomplete behavior with these advanced options.

Setting	Description	Default
Minimum Characters	Number of characters the customer must type before search begins. Higher values reduce API calls but require more typing.	3
Search Delay (ms)	Delay in milliseconds after typing stops before search triggers. Prevents excessive API calls while the customer is still typing.	300
Cache Duration (hours)	How long to cache address lookup results. Caching reduces API calls and improves performance for repeated searches.	24
