Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Google Autocomplete for the shipping address forms in Checkout does not typically suggest the USPS Standardized Postal Address from Google's own Address Validation API.
The autocomplete is a nice feature, but the addresses are not formatted correctly for carriers with proper abbreviations. This is causing problem during shipping label creation.
Example entry:
123 West High Street Ebensburg PA 15931
Expected validated postal address result:
123 W High St Ebensburg PA 15931-1538
From Google API https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/address-validation/demo
"postalAddress": {
"regionCode": "US",
"languageCode": "en",
"postalCode": "15931-1538",
"administrativeArea": "PA",
"locality": "Ebensburg",
"addressLines": [
"123 W High St"
]
},
Updating the suggestion results to validated postal formatted address should be considered for accuracy. I know there are apps out there that can do this instead, but this one is out-of-box and nearly working already.
