Some call them zip codes. To others, they’re known as pin codes, area codes, or even postal codes. You can call them whatever you want, but their function remains invaluable – they are what helps delivery services know which part of a city, town, or any other geographic area your address or PO box is located in.
If you have a WooCommerce online store, the zip code can serve multiple purposes. It can help your customers see whether they can have your products shipped to them. Area codes might also influence the cost of shipping. It’s also possible to use pin codes as requisites for discounts.
In this article, we’ll show you some of the best WordPress plugins to help you check zip codes, postcodes, and even addresses. The plugins we’ll list include:

The WooCommerce extension relies on Google API to autofill the customers’ addresses. The autofill is available in several places, including the checkout page and the “my account” page.

The plugin is premium only, and it costs $49 billed annually.
