Multi-residence buildings
Shopify’s default address autocomplete service is often unable to identify individual dwellings within multiple occupancy buildings that share a front door. In the US this affects over 30 million suites and apartments.
Our integration uniquely ensures your customer can drilldown and select their apartment address. Other solutions display either some or none of the apartments, leading to incorrect or incomplete address information.
Easy integration
Autoaddress is fully integrated into Shopify, unlike other solutions that require external accounts, API key management, and separate billing. Simply install from the Shopify App Store and follow the quick setup guide.
We provide a direct replacement for Shopify’s Autocomplete service, and also an advanced one-line control optimized for capturing sub-building information.
Global coverage
Shopify’s default Autocomplete service, powered by Google, lacks verification against authoritative postal sources, and lags behind in update frequency.
| Feature | Autoaddress | Google Autocomplete |
|---|---|---|
| Country Support | 100+ countries | 23 countries |
| Verified by Postal Authorities | Yes (USPS, Royal Mail, Eircode, etc.) | No |
| Update Frequency | Daily updates for accuracy | Irregular updates |
| Validation Quality | Fully validated, authoritative addresses | Suggestive, unverified results |
Transparent pricing
Every keystroke interacts with our API, but these actions do not incur charges. You are only charged when a customer selects a fully validated address—simple, transparent, and fair.
For added security, we generate a unique token for each session, keeping your secret API key protected from fraud and unexpected charges.
- Charged per validated address
- Billed by Shopify
- Protected from unexpected charges

Geobiasing
Geobiasing prioritizes addresses closest to your customer for quicker and easier address entry. With each keystroke, we search the address database for matching entries and sort them by distance from the customer.
We use a hierarchical geospatial index to boost nearby addresses to ensure they are in our result set before we sort by distance.
The concept is simple, but address searches can return tens of thousands of matches, making it impractical to sort all results in real-time. Thus a limit on the number of returned results is required, which may exclude nearby addresses, frustrating the user experience.
Transliteration
Many software applications are incapable of handling non-Latin characters. To overcome this issue we swap non-Latin characters in a predictable way with Latin characters in a process called transliteration.
This allows users to search and see options in their native script while ensuring returned addresses are in the Latin script.
40 of our 100+ supported countries have addresses in a language that uses a non-Latin character set.
| Language | Example Address | Transliterated Address |
|---|---|---|
| Greek | Θεσσαλονίκης 12 57004 Θερμαϊκός GREECE | Thessalonikis 12 57004 Thermaikos GREECE |
| Russian | Анненская улица 1 Москва 127521 RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Annenskaya ulitsa 1 Moskva 127521 RUSSIAN FEDERATION |
| Chinese | 康麗花園第一座 | KangLiHuaYuanDiYiZuo 129, TunMenXiangShiHuiLu TunMenQu HONG KONG |
Geocodes
"location": {
"latitude": 40.863013,
"longitude": -73.922423,
"crs": "EPSG:4326",
"accuracy": "BUILDING"
}
The term “CRS” stands for Coordinate Reference System. In our location data, we consistently provide a latitude and a longitude coordinate. Here, “EPSG:4326” is the designation for latitude and longitude in the WGS84 system — a standard recognized worldwide by navigation systems, Google Maps, and similar platforms.
The accuracy parameter indicates the accuracy of the returned coordinate, with the majority of our location information available at BUILDING (rooftop) level.
Accuracy | Description |
|---|---|
BUILDING | Rooftop accuracy |
STREET | We are awaiting a building coordinate for an address, but we have coordinates for other addresses on that street. |
POSTCODE | UK and Netherlands postcodes are small enough to provide accurate location information |
LOCALITY | For bigger postcodes (e.g. Zip codes), City level accuracy, etc. |
