How can I set up auto-fill for shipping addresses at checkout?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Central issue: enabling auto-fill of shipping addresses at checkout to speed up customer input.

Latest update: Shopify checkout supports address suggestions via Google Autocomplete (Google Maps Places), and this is enabled by default. You can verify in Shopify Admin under Settings > Checkout > Order Processing by ensuring “Use address autocompletion” is selected.

Technical note: Google Autocomplete suggests address components (street, city, etc.) as the customer types, reducing manual entry and errors.

Action items:

  • Check the Order Processing setting for address autocompletion.
  • If enabled but not working, follow up for troubleshooting.

Open questions (no confirmed answers yet):

  • Whether a plugin exists to import addresses via a customer’s Google Map location (GPS-based selection rather than typed autocomplete).
  • Whether autocompletion can capture and populate the full US ZIP+4 (5-digit ZIP plus the additional 4 digits).

Status: Mixed—core autocompletion capability is documented and should be on by default; additional feature requests (map-based import, ZIP+4 support) remain unanswered/ongoing.

Hey @Annieann ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! This automation can certainly be enabled on the shop to populate information for a faster checkout experience. The checkout has a feature available that utilizes Google Autocomplete to populate suggestions and can check out our Order Processing documentation for further insight on this.

This feature however, should be enabled by default for the shop. To this is true, you can head into the Shopify admin under Settings > Checkout > Order Processing where the option use address autocompletion should be selected.

Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding this and/or the option is selected but not working as expected!
