README

The Google Address Lookup module makes use of the Google Places API Web Service to provide the following functionality to your Magento 2 store.

1. Minimise address input errors by providing a post-code lookup service.
2. Reduce the number of visible input fields on the checkout by hiding city, state, street 1, street 2 and post-code fields.
3. Provide a manual address input override which will display the hidden fields.

Note: The Google Places API offers 150,000 FREE daily lookup requests for users that validate their account and add billing information. If you require more than 150,000 lookup requests daily then you can register to a paid plan. See Usage Tiers & Pricing
