Address Validation and Autocomplete for WooCommerce | Addressfinder vs Map Field for Contact Form 7

Prevent costly shipping errors and failed deliveries with Addressfinder; Australia and New Zealand’s leading address autocomplete and verification provider. The Addressfinder plugin for WooCommerce adds verified address autocomplete capability to the shipping and billing address fields of your online store.

The addresses are validated before customers place their order, ensuring accurate address entry, a streamlined purchase process, and reduced delivery issues. “The only ones [returns] I’ve been getting back now are unclaimed, actual returns, or Auspost ones that have been damaged. Best widget so far” – Sanity Music Stores Get verified addresses No more mistakes. The Addressfinder address database is the most comprehensive address dataset in Australia and New Zealand with support for international addresses in over 15 countries. Other services such as Google autocomplete just suggests addresses and often don’t provide accurate PO Box or unit and level number addresses which make up ~37% of all Australian postal addresses. Addressfinder makes it easy, handling local complexities and only displaying addresses that local carriers such as Australia Post and NZ Post accept – so every package gets delivered. Access the latest addresses The Addressfinder address database is refreshed monthly so you can rely on the data being available and up to date. Our extensive data sources provide us with the freshest data so customers living in new developments or multi-dwelling apartments will still be able to validate their addresses. Built-in email and phone verification Don’t let a customer slip between the cracks due to a spelling error. Our email and phone verification widgets allow you to collect valid data in the format you require, maintaining your data quality and sender reputation. Simple visual cues ensure your customers provide only valid contact information while they are actively engaged on your website. No programming required This plugin is easy to set up. It does not require any coding experience and you can have it working and validating addresses in minutes.
