      How do I enable Google Address Autocomplete?

      Address Autocomplete suggests addresses to donors as they type and pre-fills and formats the rest of their address once selected.

      Address Autocomplete is a feature powered by Google that makes for faster donations, and reduces administrative work otherwise spent cleaning incorrect donor address data.

      Using the Google Places API, your forms on raisin’s Donations and  Peer-to-Peer (Pledge/Multi-Pledge) modules can feature a type-ahead-search that, when a donor starts to enter the first few characters of their address, will instantly provide suggestions of matching addresses as they type, and once an address is selected, pre-populate and pre-format the rest of their address fields.
