My Account address edit

Autocomplete on the billing and shipping address forms customers use in their account.

Returning customers often update their address, moving house, shipping a gift somewhere new, or fixing a typo from a past order. They do this from My Account → Addresses. The plugin covers these forms with the same autocomplete you get on the checkout.

Where this shows up

Inside the customer’s account area, under My Account → Addresses, customers can edit two forms:

  • Their billing address
  • Their shipping address

Both forms get Google autocomplete when they start typing in the Street address field. Selecting a suggestion fills in suburb, city, province, and postcode, just like checkout.

Why this matters

When a customer saves a clean, Google-standardised address in their account, their next order uses that address automatically. You get the benefit of consistent shipping-rule matches on every future order they place, not just the current one.

A customer who updates their address here once means a customer whose next five orders don’t need a shipping-rules support ticket.

Turning it off

Some stores don’t want extra Google billing from customers poking around their account area. If you’d rather limit autocomplete to the checkout only, you can turn the My Account integration off.

Go to Settings → SA Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce. Under Options, uncheck Enable on My Account address forms, then click Save Changes.

Autocomplete still works on the checkout, only the My Account forms are affected.

What customers keep on dashboard and order pages

The plugin only loads autocomplete scripts on the two address-edit forms. Your customer’s My Account dashboard, their orders list, downloads, and other account pages don’t load the Google SDK and don’t count towards your Google billing.

This is deliberate. Google bills per session, so loading the SDK on pages where it isn’t used would be both slower for your customers and pointlessly expensive for you.
