Easily integrate Google Address to enable Google Maps Autocomplete on your checkouts. Google Maps gives you $200 of usage every month for no charge.

Google Maps Autocomplete uses location-based search to assist your customers in entering their full address without having to type out the entire thing. When Google Address is added to your Spiffy account, Spiffy Checkouts will populate a list of nearby addresses to your customer that match what they are entering into their checkout.

By default, all Spiffy accounts have this functionality automatically integrated up to a certain number of orders per month.

• Spiffy Pro accounts are automatically supported for the first 250 orders per month.
• Spiffy Business & Enterprise accounts are automatically supported for the first 500 orders per month.

You only need to use this integration if you:

1. Process a high volume of orders every month
2. Collect addresses from your customers on Checkouts for the high volume of orders
3. And want Google Maps Address autofill to assist your buyers in entering their information faster
