Google Autocomplete makes it fast and simple for customers to complete their orders at checkout. Instead of having to fill out each address field at checkout, Google will use your customers' street address to auto-populate the empty fields.

Note: This integration is only available for Shopify merchants who installed ReCharge before November 2nd, 2020, and are using the ReCharge Checkout.
