What is the AddressFinder extension for Magento 2?

• The AddressFinder extension adds Australian and New Zealand address autocomplete capability to the billing and shipping address fields within your Magento 2 store.
• Get Verified addresses - No more mistakes. Save addresses straight from your webform to your database.
• Access the latest addresses - Database refreshed monthly for up-to-date addresses.
• No software required - AddressFinder is a Javascript widget and API.
• Supports all modern browsers - AddressFinder for Magento 2 will work in all modern browsers. Internet Explorer is supported from version 9 to current.

Installation

• We suggest that you install AddressFinder via composer. The steps below outline this process, and work for Magento versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Magento 2.0 is no longer supported. If you would prefer to install via the Magento marketplace you can find our extension here.
• 1. Open the terminal and go to your Magento installation directory and enter:
  composer require addressfinder/module-magento2
  This installs the AddressFinder extension within Magento. This takes about five minutes.
• 2. Once installation is completed, enable the AddressFinder module by entering:
  bin/magento module:enable AddressFinder_AddressFinder
• 3. Run the setup:upgrade command:
  bin/magento setup:upgrade
• 4. Clear the cache:
  bin/magento cache:flush
• 5. You may need to recompile your dependency injection cache and redeploy themes, especially in production. This process, which varies from site to site and is outside the context of installing this module, generally involves the commands:
  bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
