What your customer sees

They type the first few letters of their street and pick their address from the list.

Your customer reaches the address step of the checkout and, as soon as they start typing in the "Address" field, Google suggests real addresses right below it, in their language. One click on theirs and the form fills itself in: street and number, postcode, city, state or province and country. All that is left is the flat or door number, if they have one. It is the address autocomplete at checkout they already know from the big online stores, now in your PrestaShop.

Google address autocomplete in the PrestaShop checkout: street suggestions while the customer types

What fills itself in

  • Street and number, with the flat or suite when Google has it
  • City or town
  • The full postcode
  • State, province or region, picked in the PrestaShop drop-down
  • Country, picked in the PrestaShop drop-down

Made for mobile

Typing a whole address on a phone is the most tiring part of an order. With autocomplete, a few letters and one tap are enough, and your customer gets to the pay button sooner.

Where it appears

In every address form of your store, without you having to place it.

At checkout

In the address step of the PrestaShop checkout, for both the delivery and the invoice address, and also when the customer orders as a guest.

In "My addresses"

When your customer adds or corrects an address from their account, the field suggests the same addresses as at checkout.

Switching country loses nothing

If the chosen address is in another country, PrestaShop reloads the form to ask for that country's fields. As soon as it finishes, the module puts the street, postcode, city and state back, so your customer does not have to type them again.

How it fits your theme

It hooks onto the usual address field: no templates, no core changes.

The module finds PrestaShop's standard address field and adds Google's suggestions to it, so it works with classic, with Hummingbird and with the themes built on them. It does not replace your form or change its design: it only adds a small location icon inside the field.

Nothing covers the suggestions

Chrome's autofill and password managers such as LastPass or 1Password step aside, so Google's list is the only one your customer sees.

Enter does not submit

Pressing Enter to choose a suggestion chooses it; the form is not sent half-filled.

The list follows the field

When the page scrolls, the suggestion drop-down stays attached to the address field.

Only where it is needed

The Google Maps script loads asynchronously and only on pages with an address form. The rest of the store does not notice it.

In your back office too

Your team types addresses with the same autocomplete as your customers.

When you or someone on your team creates or edits a customer's address in Customers › Addresses, the address field also suggests Google addresses and fills in the rest: postcode, city, state and country. It is a real time-saver when you take an order over the phone or fix an address that came back.

Fewer delivery errors

An address picked from a list has no typos.

Every parcel that comes back because of a misspelt street or a wrong postcode costs you two shipments and a customer left waiting. With autocomplete, your customer does not type the address: they pick it from Google's address data, where it already exists and is spelt correctly, and the fields are filled with the details that come with it. It is the simplest form of address validation, right at the moment the address is entered.

The full postcode

In countries like the UK, where Google sometimes returns only the first half of the postcode, the module looks up the full one for that address.

The right state

Google's data is matched to the states or provinces set up in your PrestaShop, and the right one is selected in the drop-down.

In your customer's language

Suggestions appear in the language they are browsing in: someone shopping in French sees addresses in French.

Fewer abandoned carts

A long form is one of the places where people give up on a purchase. One that fills itself in gets finished sooner.

Who it is for

Any store that sends things to an address.

Stores that ship a lot

If you send many parcels a day, every misspelt address you avoid is one return and one phone call fewer.

Lots of mobile traffic

If most of your customers buy from their phone, this is where it shows most: a few letters and a tap instead of five fields.

International stores

Every country writes its addresses its own way. Google brings them in order and the module puts them in the fields PrestaShop asks for in that country.

B2B stores

Trade customers set up several delivery addresses. With autocomplete, each one is added in seconds from "My addresses".

Local delivery

If you deliver in your own area, limit suggestions to your country and addresses reach you exact for the route.

Phone orders

If your team creates orders from the back office, they enter customers' addresses just as fast and without typos.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add address autocomplete to PrestaShop?

Install the module, paste your Google API key into its settings page and switch it on. From then on, the "Address" field at checkout, in "My addresses" and in the back office suggests addresses from Google Maps. There is no need to touch your theme or any code.

Do I need a Google Places API key? How much does it cost?

Yes: the autocomplete API is served by Google Maps Platform, and you create the key for free in your Google Cloud account, which asks for a card for billing. Google charges by usage and every month comes with a free allowance; a small or medium store usually stays within it. Any bill comes from Google to your own account, with no middleman, and you can set a daily cap in the console to avoid surprises.

Does it work in the PrestaShop 1.7, 8 and 9 checkout?

Yes. In the store it works on PrestaShop 1.7, 8 and 9, for both the delivery and the invoice address of the standard checkout; in the back office, on PrestaShop 8 and 9.

Does it work with a one-page checkout module?

It works with those that keep PrestaShop's order page and its standard address field. If your checkout is built by a module with its own page, write to us before buying with the module's name and we will tell you whether it fits.

Can address autocomplete be used for address validation?

It makes sure the address arrives correctly written: your customer picks it from the addresses Google knows, with their postcode, city and state, instead of typing it. It does not check the flat or door number, which are still up to them, but it removes the street and postcode typos that send most parcels back.

Which countries does it support? Can I limit it to the countries I ship to?

Google has addresses for practically the whole world. If you only sell in some countries, you can limit suggestions to up to five, which is the maximum Google allows; with no limit, addresses come from everywhere. For the country to be selected automatically, it has to be active in your store.

Does it work at registration and in "My addresses"?

In "My addresses", yes: when adding or editing an address from the account. PrestaShop does not ask for the address at registration but at the first order or in "My addresses", and that is where autocomplete does its job.

Will it slow down my store?

Not on the pages that do not need it: Google's script only loads, asynchronously, where there is an address form. The home page, categories and product pages load nothing new.

What does the licence include?

The licence is yours forever and includes three months of updates and support; with the Continuity Plan you get the installation, the first year and the yearly renewal.

Configuration

One screen, four settings and done in a couple of minutes.

Settings screen of the PrestaShop address autocomplete module: Google Places API key and countries
  • Enable or disable autocomplete with a switch.
  • Google API key, the one you create in Google Cloud.
  • Limit by country, if you only sell in some.
  • The countries, up to five, chosen from a list.

No country limit

Suggestions include addresses from all over the world. For stores that ship anywhere.

With a limit (up to 5 countries)

Only addresses from the chosen countries appear, and suggestions are more precise. Google allows a maximum of five at a time.

How to get the API key

1. Go to Google Cloud Console and create a project. 2. Enable Maps JavaScript API and Places API; if you ship to the UK, also Geocoding API, which is what completes the postcodes. 3. Create an API key and restrict it to your domain. 4. Paste it into the module's settings and switch it on.
