The Pro version lets you restrict autocomplete suggestions to specific countries. Customers will only see addresses from the countries you ship to — no irrelevant suggestions from regions you don’t serve.
Example: If you only ship within India and the United States, set your restriction to IN,US — and only Indian and American addresses will appear in the suggestions.
- Enter up to 15 countries using standard 2-letter ISO codes (e.g. IN, US, GB, AU, CA)
- Works on both billing and shipping address forms
- Fully compatible with classic and block checkout
