Hopewiser Address Lookup For WooCommerce

This plugin integrates Hopewiser services to provide address lookup features for WooCommerce version 7 and above.

gazchap

<p>This plugin enables your customers to complete their billing/shipping addresses by entering their postcode and selecting their address from the options given.</p>
<p>It utilises getAddress.io (https://getaddress.io) to do the lookup using their Royal Mail Postcode Address File.</p>
<p>An API key is required for the integration to work, and the integration only appears when the customer has selected United Kingdom (or, more specifically, the ISO-3166-2 code “GB”) for their country.</p>
<p>It can optionally be turned off for the shipping or billing addresses, and can be enabled or disabled in each of the checkout, customer account and WooCommerce admin screens.</p>
<p>Postcodes that are looked up are saved in a custom database table for 24 hours to help reduce your costs for use of the getAddress.io API.</p>
<h3>IMPORTANT NOTE</h3>
<p>With the update to v3.2.4, I have had to make the difficult decision to discontinue this plugin.</p>
<p>There are legal and ethical concerns regarding the source of the data used by the getAddress.io API, and consequently to protect myself and my users, I have little choice but to discontinue the plugin development.</p>
<p>After the plugin update (or a new installation) the plugin will remain active for 30 days and then the lookup facilities will no longer be available, at which point you should deactivate and uninstall the plugin. A notice will be displayed in the admin panel informing you of this, showing the date that your lookup will cease to function.</p>
<p>I am unable to field queries regarding possible alternative providers or plugins, but WooCommerce have recently added a native Address Lookup system into version 10.3 of WooCommerce which should rapidly become popular and gain the support of most postcode lookup services.</p>
<p>For more information: https://blog.ideal-postcodes.co.uk/ideal-postcodes-wins-high-court-ruling</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com" rel="nofollow ugc">WooCommerce</a>, at least version 3.0.<br />
<a href="https://getaddress.io" rel="nofollow ugc">getAddress.io API Key</a>. A number of pricing plans are available.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Currently, this plugin does NOT support WooCommerce Checkout Blocks introduced as the default checkout experience in WooCommerce version 8.3, it can only be used with the WooCommerce checkout shortcode. I aim to make this plugin compatible with Checkout Blocks as soon as possible.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once installed and activated, you need to go to the WooCommerce -> Settings -> General page in the WordPress dashboard. You can enter your API key and set your other options here.</p>
<h3>Conflicts with other plugins</h3>
<p>Certain plugins that also modify checkout fields can conflict with this plugin and prevent it from working.</p>
<p>Usually, the symptom of this is that the “Find Address” button does not appear.</p>
<p>Since version 2.1, I’ve added a Hook Priority setting at the bottom of the settings for the plugin that you can use to try and fix these conflicts.</p>
<p>The default priority is 10, but using a higher number makes my plugin modify the checkout later in the process – you will probably need to experiment to find the priority that makes my plugin’s changes happen after the conflicting plugin.</p>
<p>For example, a priority of 1001 seems to fix conflicts with the “Checkout Field Editor” plugin by ThemeHigh.</p>
<h3>Filter Reference</h3>
<p>For developers, I’ve included a few filters that you can use to customise certain aspects of the plugin. These are:</p>
<h4>User Interface</h4>
<p>All of these filters take one argument, <code>$text</code>.</p>
<pre><code>gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_find-address-button-text - the text shown on the Find Address buttons (default: Find Address)
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_find-address-searching-text - the text shown when the Find Address button is selected (default: Searching...)
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_enter-address-manually-text - the text shown for the "Enter an address manually" link (default: Enter an address manually)
</code></pre>
<p>Note: Although these two texts are translatable, filters will override any translations.</p>
<h4>Error Messages</h4>
<p>All of these filters take one argument, <code>$message</code>, the error message that will be displayed to the user.</p>
<pre><code>gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_api_error_400 - shown when the postcode supplied is invalid/empty
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_api_error_401 - shown when the API key provided in the settings is invalid
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_api_error_404 - shown when no addresses were found for the supplied postcode
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_api_error_429 - shown when the API key has hit its usage limit
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_api_error_500 - shown when there is a server error at getAddress.io
</code></pre>
<p>Note: By default, the error messages are “customer friendly”, i.e. they don’t go into much detail about the cause of the error!</p>
<h4>Styling</h4>
<pre><code>gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_billing_selector_row_class - changes the CSS class on the form-row that the billing address selector is placed into
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_shipping_selector_row_class - changes the CSS class on the form-row that the shipping address selector is placed into
gazchaps-woocommerce-getaddress-io_clear_additional_fields - defaults to true, set to '__return_false' to stop the "additional fields" area of the checkout having a clear style applied to it<h3>License</h3>Licensed under the [GNU General Public License v2.0](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)
