## Description

A shopper starts typing and picks their address from a list. Your own Google
 key,
your own quota; nothing goes through us.

#### It never replaces a field

WooCommerce’s own address inputs stay exactly where they are, underneath the
 search
box. If your key is missing, your referrer restriction bites, your quota runs out,
an ad blocker gets in the way, or Google has a bad afternoon, the checkout works
precisely as it did before this plugin was installed. That is the one failure in
this category that costs orders, and it is avoided by never replacing anything.

#### On the far side of Google’s migration

Google has deprecated its old autocomplete widget in favour of
 PlaceAutocompleteElement.
This plugin uses the **new** element, so it ships on the far side of that migration
rather than needing a rewrite immediately. Where the new element is not available
it stands down, rather than falling back to the thing Google is removing.

#### Your key is not a secret, and we do not pretend it is

A Maps JavaScript key is handed to every shopper’s browser — that is how it
 works,
and there is nowhere to hide it. So the field is not masked. What protects it is
an HTTP-referrer restriction in Google’s own console, and the settings screen says
so right beside the field.

#### What you get

 * Autocomplete on the checkout and the My Account address editor
 * Billing and shipping, each switchable
 * Suggestions limited to the countries you sell to — up to five, Google’s
    own 
   limit — which lowers your Google bill
 * Nothing loaded at all on a store with no key — or on a page with no
    address 
   on it, because that would be a paid Google call for nothing
 * No data of yours or your shoppers’ sent anywhere but Google

#### The full edition

[Gatemi Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce](https://gatemi.com/plugins/address-autocomplete-for-woocommerce/)

is a separate plugin, sold on gatemi.com, that adds changing how Google’s address
parts map onto your checkout fields, pinning a Maps version or region, and a filter
that limits autocomplete to the shoppers a store names.

### External services

This plugin loads Google’s Maps JavaScript API in your shoppers’ browsers,
 using**
your** API key, so that they can search for their address. What is sent is what 
they type into the search box. This happens only on pages with an address form and
only once you have entered a key.

Service: Google Maps Platform — https://developers.google.com/maps —
 https://cloud.
google.com/maps-platform/terms — https://policies.google.com/privacy

The plugin itself contacts nothing else — no gatemi.com, no analytics,
 nothing.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Create a Google Maps Platform key with the Maps JavaScript API and the Places API
    enabled, and restrict it by HTTP referrer to your domain.
 3. Go to WooCommerce  Address Autocomplete and paste it in.

## FAQ

### What happens if Google is unavailable?

Nothing, from your shopper’s point of view. The ordinary address fields are
 still
there and still work.

### Who pays Google?

You do, on your own key, for what your shoppers type. Switching autocomplete
 off
on the address you do not need it for is the cheapest saving there is, and restricting
suggestions to the countries you sell to is the next one.

### Will my settings survive if I upgrade to the full edition?

Yes. They are stored in exactly the place and shape the full edition reads,
 and
a test in both plugins keeps it that way.
