WC – APG City

WC – APG City adds to your WooCommerce store a new automatic city field generated from the postcode via the GeoNames API or the Google Maps API.

Features

• Fully compatible with the Checkout block in the WordPress block editor.
• Includes a local GeoNames database that is downloaded and updated monthly to improve performance and reduce external API queries.
• You can choose between the GeoNames API and the Google Maps API.
• You must add your own Google Maps API Key or GeoNames username.
• Your API credentials are never sent to the browser: every lookup is made by the server.
• You can customize the default text of the select field.
• You can customize the text of the option used to switch to a text field.
• You can block modifications to the city and province (state) fields.
• You can customize the background color of the locked fields.
• If the postcode is shared by more than one city, the customer can select the correct city name from the list returned by GeoNames or Google Maps.
• If the city is not in the list or cannot be found in either API, the customer can manually enter their city name.
• It also selects the province (state), as long as the name matches the one obtained from GeoNames or Google Maps.
• Contextual help on the settings page, explaining every setting without leaving the screen.
