This plugin connects your store with the “Google Places (new) API”, the data is sent to Google and an autocomplete suggestion is returned. The customer enters the zip code, for example, and the city is suggested directly, or he receives suggestions if he types in his street name incorrectly. Especially with long street names, it is very convenient not to have to type everything and, above all, not to have any typing errors.
Variant 1:
Auto-complete support during registration as a new customer. We also check whether the customer has entered a house number and whether there is a space between the street name and the house number. This is why option 1 is not update-proof; create_account.php, create_guest_account.php, and the two language files german.php and english.php are extended.
Variant 2:
Address verification during checkout and suggestion of corrections if necessary. Here, we do not check the house number again, which is why option 2 is update-proof.
Variant 3:
Both. This will then check both new customers and existing customers (and any new addresses they may have added).

The use of this interface is currently (as of June 2025) free of charge from Google's side. It is of course possible that this will change in the future. We have no influence on this.
