About Google Address Autocomplete Feature

The Google Places API Web Service and Place Autocomplete share a usage quota as described in the Usage Limits documentation for Google Places API Web Service. These usage limits can be lifted by placing a request to google as explained in their article. The daily usage is calculated as the sum of client-side and server-side requests combined.

Google Address Autocomplete feature adds a text input field to your woocommerce checkout page, and monitors that field for character entries. As the user enters text, google autocomplete returns place predictions in the form of a dropdown pick list. See more details here.
