Address auto-complete is available with <a href="https://www.loqate.com/partners/ADRSY11126">Loqate</a>, which works for merchants in any country. With a paid Loqate account, your customers can auto-complete addresses in any country and addresses can be classified as “residential” or “commercial”.
Merchants in any country can <a href="https://www.loqate.com/partners/ADRSY11126">sign up for an Loqate account</a> to get started.
<h3>Postcode lookup</h3>
Address lookup by postcode is available for UK or NL addresses via one of the following providers: <a href="https://www.postcode.nl/">Postcode.NL</a>, <a href="http://www.postcodesoftware.net/">PostcodeSoftware.net</a>, or <a href="https://fetchify.com/">Fetchify</a>.
