Google Address Auto Suggest


In VPCart 9.0, we have added new feature “Google Address Auto Suggest”.
This feature can reduce friction in the checkout process by providing a single, quick entry field with ‘type-ahead’ address prediction that can be used to automatically populate a full billing or shipping address form.

This feature will be available for normal checkout and also onepage checkout.

By activating the Google Address Auto Suggest feature in your VPCart site, there are some great benefits you can get:

* Reduce address/city/zip code entry errors
* Just a simple way for the address entry experience on mobile devices
* Reduce the time required for a visitor/customer during checkout

Example below showing that in the checkout form, we type into Address field 117 rowe street and Google will auto suggest the available address options that match the street name, with the city, state and country.

Normal Checkout :



Onepage Checkout:



When we pick one of the address that match our street, city, state and country, VPCart will then auto populate the values into the Address, City, Zip Code, State and Country as like screenshot below :
