## Description
Free add-on for the Logicoo Form plugin. It adds an Address field to the form builder.
When you turn on the service with your own Google Maps Platform API key, visitors
can get address suggestions from Google Maps while they type, and choose their address
from a list.
Requires Logicoo Form 1.2.0 or later. With an older Logicoo Form the add-on does
not start, and forms with an Address field show a notice and cannot be sent until
Logicoo Form is updated. With Logicoo Form 1.3.0 or later, the Address field also
works inside repeatable groups.
* Suggestions only after the visitor’s choice: nothing is sent to Google before
the visitor turns on the suggestions with the button under the field, or accepts
the chosen category in a cookie plugin that supports the WP Consent API. Global
Privacy Control is respected.
* The field stays a plain text field without JavaScript, while the suggestions
are off, or when Google cannot be reached: the visitor can always type the address
and send the form.
* Accessible suggestion list: keyboard, screen readers, touch screens, right-to-
left languages, the colours of the form.
* Field properties in the builder: allowed countries, addresses or cities and towns,
characters before the suggestions, value of the field (full address, or street
and number only), country in the address, autofill section.
* Address text built with the rules of each country (17 countries and a general
rule).
* Optional filling of other visible fields of the form: street and number, postcode,
city, province, region or state, country.
* Optional “Use my location” button for each field (HTTPS sites only): after a
confirmation in two steps, the browser shares the device location once, and the
visitor chooses the address from a list of nearby addresses.
* Optional “Google addresses only” mode for each field, for shipping addresses:
the field accepts only an address chosen from the suggestions, with the street
number if you ask for it, and the form response saves how the address was checked.
With an optional server key, the server checks the choice when the form is sent.
With the optional postal check, Google also checks that the chosen address is
complete and deliverable, and the visitor confirms any correction next to the
field.
* Works inside the repeatable groups of Logicoo Form 1.3.0: every item has its
own Address field, with its own suggestions, checks and saved result.
* Estimated request counter with monthly thresholds, email alerts and an optional
monthly limit; a limit per page view; a daily check that the key is restricted
to your website; key test and diagnostics.
* No map: the add-on only suggests addresses.
#### Before you use it
* You need a Google Cloud account with billing enabled and your own API key. Google
bills your account directly: no service of the add-on author stands between your
site and Google.
* Mention Google Maps in the terms of use and in the privacy policy of your site,
as the Google Maps Platform terms require. WordPress offers a suggested text
for the privacy policy in Settings > Privacy, under “Logicoo Form Address & Autocomplete”.
* If you use a cookie plugin (such as Complianz, CookieYes, iubenda or Borlabs
Cookie), list Google Maps there, in the category chosen in the add-on settings(
Marketing by default).
* The Google Maps Platform terms for the European Economic Area or the global terms
apply depending on the billing address of your Google Cloud account, not on where
your visitors are.
* Do not use the add-on on sites or pages directed to children under 13, or to
collect health information subject to HIPAA.
* Health-related sites with visitors from Washington State: the My Health My Data
Act may require a separate consent for Google. Keep the “Use my location” button
off.
* Do not show a map from another provider next to the Address field. In the European
Economic Area, do not show the suggested places on any map, including Google
maps.
* The address chosen from the suggestions and saved with the form response comes
from Google Maps: how long you may keep it is a point to discuss with your legal
advisor.
* The add-on does not make your site compliant with any law by itself.
### External services
This add-on connects to Google Maps Platform, a service by Google, to suggest addresses
while a visitor types. Nothing is sent to Google before the visitor turns on the
suggestions with the button under the field, or accepts the consent category chosen
in the settings in a cookie plugin that supports the WP Consent API (in opt-in mode).
The site owner’s Google API key is required, and the service is off until the owner
turns it on.
* maps.googleapis.com and maps.gstatic.com: the Maps JavaScript API is loaded in
the visitor’s browser after that action, once per page. Google receives the site’s
API key, the page address, the visitor’s IP address, browser data and language.
* places.googleapis.com: at each search, the text typed in the Address field, a
session token, the field filters (countries, type of results) and the language.
When the visitor chooses a suggestion, its identifier, the same session token
and the list of requested fields (address components only).
* maps.googleapis.com, only for fields with the “Use my location” button: after
the visitor confirms in two steps and allows the browser to share the location,
the device coordinates and the language, to find the nearby addresses (Geocoding).
The coordinates are sent once, only to Google: the add-on never saves them and
never sends them to the site. The confirmation is asked again at every use.
* addressvalidation.googleapis.com, only for fields with the postal check: after
the visitor chooses an address, its text (street, number, postcode, city) and
the country code, to check it for delivery (Address Validation). The same address
is checked once per page.
* places.googleapis.com, from the site’s server: once a day, when the key is saved,
when the service is turned on and when the owner tests the key, one request with
a fixed text, to check that the key is restricted to the site’s domain. No visitor
data is sent.
* places.googleapis.com, from the site’s server, only if the owner saves a server
key: when the owner tests it, one request for the details of a fixed public place;
when a visitor sends a form with a “Google addresses only” field, the identifier
of the chosen address, the language and the list of requested fields (address
components only), to check that the text sent matches the chosen address. The
text typed by the visitor and the visitor’s IP address are not sent, and Google’s
answer is not saved.
Google processes this data as an independent controller and may transfer it to the
United States. Google Maps Platform Terms of Service: https://cloud.google.com/maps-
platform/terms. Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
The add-on counts on the site, without contacting Google, how many requests the
visitors’ browsers made, to estimate the monthly cost. It keeps only the address
saved with the form response and, for “Google addresses only” fields, the result
of the address check. When a visitor turns on the suggestions, a non-reversible
fingerprint of the visitor’s IP address is kept on the site for at most ten minutes,
against abuse.

## Installation
1. Install and activate Logicoo Form 1.2.0 or later.
2. Install and activate this add-on.
3. In the Google Cloud console, create an API key. Enable the Maps JavaScript API
and the Places API (New); enable the Geocoding API only if you will use the “Use
my location” button, and the Address Validation API only if a field will use the
postal check. Restrict the key to these APIs and to your website, and set daily
quotas: a budget only sends alerts.
4. Go to Logicoo Form > Address Autocomplete, enter the key, turn on the service and
click “Test the key”.
5. In the form builder, add an Address field to a form.
6. Optional, for fields with “Google addresses only”: create a second API key, restricted
to the Places API (New) and, if your hosting has a fixed IP address, to that address(
IPv4 and, if the server has one, IPv6), with daily quotas. Enter it as the server
key and test it.
## FAQ
### Is my Google API key safe?
A browser key is public by nature: every site that uses Google Maps sends it to
the browser. The add-on never writes it in the page: the visitor’s browser receives
it only after the visitor turns on the suggestions. What protects the key is the
restriction to your website and to the APIs you use, set in the Google Cloud console.
Once a day the add-on checks that Google refuses the key from your server, and warns
you if the key works from any website (or stops the service, if you choose so).
You can also define the key in wp-config.php with the constant LFADDR_GOOGLE_API_KEY,
so that it stays out of database backups.
### How much does it cost?
Google bills your Google Cloud account for the requests sent by the visitors’ browsers,
with a free monthly usage for each item of its price list. The add-on estimates
these requests on your site, shows the estimated cost of the month, and can email
the administrator at the thresholds you set or stop the service at a monthly limit(
Logicoo Form > Address Autocomplete > Costs and limits). They are estimates: the
Google Cloud console is authoritative. The limit per page view protects against
errors, not against attacks: set daily quotas in the Google Cloud console too.
### Do visitors have to turn on the suggestions on every page?
Without a cookie plugin, yes: the button turns on the suggestions for the current
page only, and nothing is saved in the browser. With a cookie plugin that supports
the WP Consent API in opt-in mode (for example Complianz), a visitor who accepts
the category chosen in the add-on settings (Marketing by default) gets the suggestions
without the button, on every page. If the visitor later refuses that category, the
button comes back. The Functional category is never used, because cookie plugins
usually grant it without asking.
### My cookie plugin uses opt-out. Which setting should I choose?
By default the add-on shows the button even when a cookie plugin in opt-out mode
presumes a yes. With “Follow the answer of the cookie plugin” (Logicoo Form > Address
Autocomplete > Privacy), the suggestions start at the first key the visitor types,
unless the visitor has refused the category; a refusal brings the button back. This
choice is meant for visitors from countries where cookie plugins use opt-out, such
as the United States. Do not use it for visitors in Europe: keep your cookie plugin
in opt-in mode for them. Do not use it on health-related sites with visitors from
Washington State. Global Privacy Control always wins.
### My site sends a Content Security Policy. What must it allow?
The Google Maps JavaScript API needs the sources listed in Google’s guide: https://
developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/content-security-policy. Among
them: maps.googleapis.com, maps.gstatic.com and places.googleapis.com. The add-on
itself adds no inline styles: its stylesheet is a file, and the suggestion list
is placed with style properties set by its script, which a style-src without ‘unsafe-
inline’ allows. Like most plugins, it prints its browser settings as a small inline
script (wp_localize_script): a policy based on nonces must cover the inline scripts
of WordPress.
### The form is inside an iframe. Does the “Use my location” button work?
Browsers block the location in an iframe unless the iframe allows it. Add allow=”
geolocation” to the iframe tag, for example: ``. Without it, the button shows a message that location
access is blocked, and the visitor can still type the address or use the suggestions.
### When should I use “Google addresses only”?
For shipping addresses, when a wrong or incomplete address costs you a lost parcel.
The field accepts only an address chosen from the suggestions: with the address
check “With a street number”, a street without a number is not enough, and the field
asks the visitor to add it. Every response then needs at least one search on Google,
so the cost grows with the responses. The mode guarantees that the text is an address
suggested by Google. It does not guarantee that the address exists or that it is
the visitor’s: Google can miss an address, or know it badly. The other fields filled
from the address stay editable: if the visitor changes one after the choice, a warning
appears next to it, and the form can still be sent. For the flat, floor or “care
of”, add a separate Text field: the chosen text cannot be completed by hand.
### What happens to visitors who do not turn on the suggestions, or have no JavaScript?
In this mode the suggestions are needed to complete the field: a visitor who does
not turn them on cannot send the form. Write an alternative contact in the field
description, such as a phone number or an email address. Without JavaScript, the
property “without JavaScript, or a text that is not the Google address” decides:
accept the text, marked as “Not checked: without JavaScript” (the default, so you
do not lose the order), or reject the submission. A note under the field tells visitors
without JavaScript what to do. When Google does not respond, or a request limit
is reached, the property “if Google does not respond” decides in the same way. With“
Block the submission”, reaching the monthly limit of the request counter stops the
orders too.
### The street number has a letter, or the visitor cannot find the address.
Google often drops the letter of a street number: “12/A” becomes “12”. After the
choice, the visitor can add a short suffix right after the number, such as “12A”,“
12/A” or “2 bis”, unless the property “letter after the street number” does not
allow it. Some squares and places are missing from the address suggestions: “I can’t
find my address”, under the suggestions, searches again without the filter on the
type of results. If the address is still missing, the property “if the visitor cannot
find the address” decides: accept the address as typed, marked as not checked (the
default), or block the submission and invite the visitor to contact you. In that
case, write a contact in the field description.
### How do I use the result of the address check?
Each response of a field with “Google addresses only” has an “Address check” row
next to the address, in Responses, emails, PDF, CSV and the personal data export.
It says how the address was checked, for example “Chosen from the suggestions (checked
by the server)”, “Chosen from the suggestions (declared by the browser)”, “Verified
by Google (declared by the browser)”, “Confirmed by the visitor after a warning (
declared by the browser)” or “Not checked: Google not available”. Before shipping,
look at the responses marked “Not checked”, and remember that a result declared
by the browser can be faked by whoever sends the form. The saved address comes from
Google Maps: see “Before you use it”.
### What does the postal check do?
It is the third level of the address check of a “Google addresses only” field, off
by default. After the visitor chooses an address, Google checks that it is complete
and deliverable: the key needs the Address Validation API. If Google confirms it,
the field is valid. If Google corrects or completes it, for example the postcode,
the visitor sees the corrected address with “Use this address” and “Change address”:
nothing changes without the visitor’s choice. If Google does not confirm a part,
such as the street number, the visitor can correct the address or answer “It is
correct, use this address”. Google cannot confirm some real street numbers: the
visitor’s answer keeps the order. The question appears next to the field, never
in a window, and works with the keyboard and screen readers. Of the 17 countries
we tested, Google checks all but San Marino; where Google does not check addresses,
the field works as with “With a street number”. If the check is not available, the
property “if Google does not respond” decides. The response saves “Verified by Google”
or “Confirmed by the visitor after a warning”, always declared by the browser. Each
check is one Address Validation Pro request, never repeated for the same address
on the same page: 5,000 free per month, then USD 17 per 1,000 (Google’s price list
of 2026-10-07).
### What does the server key do?
Without it, the result of the address check comes from the visitor’s browser, and
it is marked “declared by the browser”. With a server key, when a form is sent the
server asks Google for the parts of the chosen address and compares them with the
text it receives: a match is marked “checked by the server”, a different text follows
the rule “without JavaScript, or a text that is not the Google address”. This costs
one Place Details Essentials request for every response, counted by the request
counter. If Google does not answer within three seconds, the response is accepted
with the browser’s result; all the checks of one response wait eight seconds at
most. Use a key different from the browser key, restricted to the Places API (New)
and, if your hosting has a fixed IP address, to that address: add the IPv4 address
and, if the server has one, the IPv6 address too, because the server may call Google
with either. If Google refuses the server key from your server, the key test says
so. You can define it in wp-config.php with the constant LFADDR_GOOGLE_SERVER_KEY.
The last check is shown in the diagnostics, without the address.
### Does the Address field work inside a repeatable group?
Yes, with Logicoo Form 1.3.0 or later. Every item of the group has its own Address
field, with the suggestions, the “Use my location” button, “Google addresses only”
and the postal check, and the form response saves the result of the check for each
item. Inside a group the field does not fill other fields, because Logicoo Form
lets you choose only fields outside the group, and every item would overwrite them.“
Duplicate” copies the chosen address with its check, without new requests to Google.
Every item counts towards the limit per page view: for groups with many items, raise
the limit in the settings.
### What happens to my forms if I deactivate the add-on?
Logicoo Form keeps the Address fields, with their properties, and the addresses
already saved in the form responses. A form with a visible Address field cannot
be sent: if the field has no conditions, Logicoo Form shows a notice instead of
the whole form; if a condition shows the field, the notice takes the place of the
field. The Logicoo Form screens list the published forms involved, and the builder
shows a notice on the field. When you activate the add-on again, the fields work
as before.
### My site is behind a proxy or a CDN.
Against abuse, the add-on limits the requests of each visitor with a non-reversible
fingerprint of the IP address. It reads the IP address from the server (REMOTE_ADDR)
and from the logicoo_form_client_ip filter of Logicoo Form. The “Trusted proxies”
setting of Logicoo Form is not available to add-ons: if your site relies only on
it, the add-on sees the address of the proxy, and all visitors share the same limit.
Use the logicoo_form_client_ip filter, or have the web server put the visitor’s
IP address in REMOTE_ADDR, trusting only the addresses of your proxy or CDN: for
example with the realip module of nginx or the mod_remoteip module of Apache. Many
hosting providers and CDNs document this setting.
### Why is the add-on in English on my site?
Translations come from translate.wordpress.org, like those of Logicoo Form. Until
the translation into your language is approved there, the add-on is in English,
including the notice that visitors see under the field. You can rewrite the texts
for visitors (the notice under the field and the location confirmation) in Logicoo
Form > Address Autocomplete > Texts.
