Address Autocomplete Magento 2 For The Best Checkout
If you are an e-commerce store owner, I guess you will know the importance of the checkout process on your website. Regardless of how good your products and services are, if you have a bad and complex checkout, there is a high possibility that the customers will leave your store before completing their payment. That's why today I want to introduce you the Address Autocomplete Magento 2 Extension. This is an amazing tool helping to simplify your current checkout process and satisfy your buyers.
Here is how it works:
Instead of asking the purchasers to provide their detailed address (Street Address, Countries, City, Subdistrict, State/ Province, Zip/ Postal Code) by typing one by one, the Address Autocomplete Magento 2 module will give the customers some address suggestions once they type their address (one of the required fields). And then, they can select among the suggested results that include the information of the remaining fields. As a result, all shipping fields will be auto-filled in a flash.
Let's see the demonstration of Address Autocomplete Magento 2:
What makes this Autocomplete Address Magento 2 extension different from other Autocomplete Google Address for Magento 2?
1. It doesn't depend on Google API
To begin with, all of the Magento 2 Autocomplete Google Address extensions are using Google API to get the addresses and show on the storefront. There are some disadvantages of this method. Firstly, you have to register an account to get the API and configure the extension. Secondly, you will have to pay Google for using its API on a monthly basis. Thirdly, Google API changes very frequently, you have to follow them to update the module and make sure that it works well on the site.
On the contrary, the Address Autocomplete Magento 2 Extension doesn't work based on the Google API. In more particular, the admin will actively import, update and manage the address information to his database, which will be taken to show as the suggestions on the frontend. Compared to the Google Address Autocomplete modules, you can significantly save your time, money, and effort from using and updating the API.
2. It adds the Subdistrict field into the Shipping section
The purpose of adding new "Subdistrict" field is to get the customers' addresses more accurately. Do you know that many countries are divided into not only Cities/ Districts but also the Subdistricts (the lower level of the District)? Moreover, if there are similar streets in one city, the delivery can go to the wrong destination.
3. It enables you to optimize the Billing address position on the checkout
One more interesting thing about the Address Autocomplete Magento 2 extension is that it allows you to move the Billing address section from the second step (Payment & Review) in the checkout to the first step (Shipping). Thanks to that, the buyers can complete both billing and shipping addresses in the same page.
All things considered, Magento 2 Address Autocomplete Extension is necessary for any e-commerce store. It would contribute to improve your checkout process as well as minimize your cart abandonment rate.
