## Description

Customers type their address once, in one line, and pick it from a list. The
 plugin
fills in the street, the postal locality and the exact seven-digit Portuguese postal
code (código postal, CP7): the code carriers need on the shipping label, chosen 
by door number. Moradas is Portuguese for “addresses”.

It is built for stores that ship to Portugal. Missing accents, abbreviations and

small typos are understood (“av liberdade lisboa 196” becomes Avenida da Liberdade,
Lisboa, 1250-147), and a postal code typed on its own fills in the street and the
locality. The service behind the plugin is free and public: no API key, no account,
and the typed text is not stored.

#### How it works

 1. The customer starts typing in the address field of the checkout: street,
     locality
    and door number, all in one line.
 2. Suggestions appear under the field as they type, each with its postal code.
     When
    a street has several postal codes and the door number is still missing, the suggestion
    says so.
 3. The customer picks one. Street, locality and postal code are filled in, and
     every
    field stays editable.

#### What you get in the checkout

 * One line is enough: “av liberdade lisboa 196” resolves to Avenida da Liberdade,
   Lisboa, 1250-147.
 * The exact CP7 for the door number, not just a code for the street or the town.
 * A postal code works as input too: “1000-098” fills in Praça do Chile, Lisboa.
 * Forgiving matching: accents are optional (“sao joao”), abbreviations are understood(“
   av” for Avenida), small typos are corrected.
 * Larger towns are ranked first.
 * Suggestions only for Portugal: for any other country the checkout is untouched.
 * On WooCommerce 9.9 and newer the suggestion list is drawn by WooCommerce itself,
   so it follows your theme.
 * Nothing is added to the order and no extra fields are created: the plugin fills
   the standard address, city and postcode fields.

#### Privacy

 * No cookies, no tracking, no account.
 * While the customer types in the address field, the typed text is sent to the 
   Moradas service at moradas.dev to produce the suggestions (see “External services”
   below). Nothing is sent from any other page, from the WordPress admin, or when
   the plugin is activated.
 * No name, e-mail, phone number, order or account data is sent.
 * The service does not store the typed text; it keeps only hourly aggregate usage
   counts.
 * The bundled widget can report errors to the service; in this plugin that option
   is switched off.

#### Compatibility

 * Both checkouts: the Checkout Blocks (the default checkout) and the classic shortcode
   checkout. The plugin registers itself as a WooCommerce address autocomplete provider,
   so the same suggestions appear in both.
 * WordPress 6.5 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer. WooCommerce 9.9 or newer for the block
   checkout (tested up to 11.2); with older WooCommerce versions the plugin still
   works in the classic checkout, using its own suggestion list.
 * Declares compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and with the
   Cart and Checkout blocks.

#### Free, no API key

The service at https://moradas.dev is public and free, including for commercial

use. There is no key to paste and no account to create. Fair-use limits are described
at https://moradas.dev/docs. Stores that run their own instance of the service can
point the plugin to it under WooCommerce  Settings  Advanced  Moradas.

#### Portuguese translation included

The plugin’s interface text (the settings, the admin notices and the “enter the

door number” hint in the checkout) ships with a Portuguese (Portugal) translation.
The suggestions themselves are addresses, so they read the same in any language.

#### External services

This plugin connects to the Moradas address API (https://moradas.dev), a free
 public
service run by the authors of this plugin, to turn what the customer types into 
address suggestions and into the exact postal code. Without this service the plugin
has nothing to suggest.

When it is used: only on the checkout page and only when the country is Portugal,

while the customer types in the address field, and once more when a suggestion is
picked. Nothing is sent when the plugin is activated, in the WordPress admin, or
on any other page.

What is sent: the text typed in the address field (for example
 “av liberdade lisboa
196”) and, when a postal code has to be resolved, the identifier of the chosen street
together with the door number. No name, e-mail, phone number, order or account data
is sent. The requests go from the customer’s browser straight to the API, without
cookies; like any web request, they include the browser’s IP address and user agent.
The service does not store the typed text and keeps only hourly aggregate usage 
counts.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Activation switches on WooCommerce  Settings  General  “Address autocomplete” if
    your store has never used another address provider. You can turn it off there at
    any time.
 3. That is all. Suggestions are active for addresses in Portugal.

The API endpoint can be changed under WooCommerce  Settings  Advanced  Moradas, 
for stores that run their own instance of the service.

## FAQ

### Does it work without an API key or an account?

Yes. The service at https://moradas.dev is public and free, including for
 commercial
use. Install, activate, done. Contact: dev@moradas.dev

### What happens if the service is unreachable?

The checkout keeps working as a plain form: no suggestions appear and the
 customer
types the address by hand, exactly as without the plugin. Nothing blocks the order.

### Why only Portugal?

The service covers Portuguese addresses (moradas) and their seven-digit postal
 
codes, nothing else. Suggestions appear only when the selected country is Portugal;
for every other country the checkout is untouched.

### How does it find the exact postal code from the door number?

In Portugal a street is often split into several postal codes, each covering a
 
range of door numbers. The service keeps these ranges, so as soon as the door number
is in the address line it picks the code that matches. Until the number is known,
the suggestion says “enter the door number” and the postal code stays empty; the
moment the customer adds the number, the exact CP7 is offered.

### What about the GDPR?

The personal data involved is the address text the customer types, which is
 sent
to the service to produce suggestions, together with the technical data of any web
request (IP address, user agent). No name, e-mail, phone number, order or account
data is sent, no cookies are set, and the service does not store the typed text.
If your privacy policy lists the services your checkout talks to, add Moradas and
link to https://moradas.dev/privacy.

### How do I switch it off?

Deactivate the plugin: it puts the WooCommerce “Address autocomplete” setting
 back
the way it was. To pause suggestions without deactivating, turn off WooCommerce  
Settings  General  “Address autocomplete”.

### A street or locality is missing or wrong. How do I report it?

Write to dev@moradas.dev with the address as the customer would write it and,
 if
you know it, the postal code. The data behind the service is refreshed regularly,
and reports are checked against the next refresh.

### Is there a version for PrestaShop or other platforms?

Yes. The same service has a PrestaShop module, a JavaScript widget for any
 address
form and an API for custom integrations. See https://moradas.dev/docs.

## Changelog

#### 0.3.0

 * The bundled address widget (used on the classic checkout when WooCommerce is 
   older
    than 9.9) is now version 0.3.0. A reply from the service that is not in
   the expected format is handled like a network error: the “service temporarily
   unavailable” message is shown and the checkout keeps working as a plain form.
 * Widget 0.3.0 can send anonymous error reports to the service; in this plugin 
   that
    option is switched off, so the plugin still makes no requests of its own(
   see “External services”).
 * The example address in this readme now matches what the service returns.

#### 0.2.1

 * Fix: no more “translation loading was triggered too early” notice with WP_DEBUG
   on.
 * If WooCommerce is not active, the plugin shows a notice and stays idle.
 * Admin notices appear only where they are relevant: the Plugins screen, the Dashboard
   (
   missing WooCommerce) and the WooCommerce settings.
 * Interface text is now in English, with a Portuguese (Portugal) translation included.

#### 0.2.0

 * First public release.
 * Works in both the Checkout Blocks and the classic checkout through the official
   
   WooCommerce address autocomplete provider API (WooCommerce 9.9+).
 * Suggestions show the postal code, or ask for the door number when the street
   
   has more than one.
 * Activation switches on the WooCommerce “Address autocomplete” setting when no
   
   other address provider is present; deactivation puts it back.
 * Declares compatibility with HPOS and with the Cart/Checkout blocks.
