Postcode Search on Address Forms

As always, we are excited to announce a new update to our platform. We know that entering data is a tedious process that can be prone to mistakes, so we are addressing it in another way. To help you enter data more quickly, we've added a new module that allows you to enable postcode searching on any forms with address fields. Although it seems like a simple feature, small details like this can lead to significant changes. 

We are confident you’re familiar with this functionality as it’s commonly found on e-commerce websites. When you enter the postcode and it is recognised, the address fields will be automatically filled with the rest of your information. This will expedite your data entry, which can be especially useful when handling large volumes of data. Additionally, this will help you reduce the risk of entering the address incorrectly. 

Accessing the Feature

Unfortunately, we can offer the postcode searching feature only for UK accounts. Additionally, it is a chargeable module, where you will pay per postcode lookup instead of a recurring monthly charge. We understand it’s not an ideal model, but that’s the only way we can make it work. To put it simply, the Royal Mail charges on a per-lookup basis, and we are committed to ensuring fair costs for all customers. In other words, we will only require those who use this service to pay for it.

To enable post-code lookups, go to Settings> Billing> Subscription Modules and activate the Address Lookup Module. If you’re unsure whether your team is using it, you can monitor address lookup usage in Settings> Billing> Account Usage.
