Address forms are costing you money

Every wrong postcode, every misspelled street, every failed delivery is a preventable cost. France Adresse Pro eliminates them in one install.

What goes wrong without it

  • Wrong postcodes entered manually
  • Misspelled street names cause failed deliveries
  • Customers abandon checkout at the address step
  • Refund requests from undeliverable orders
  • Customer service hours spent correcting addresses

What France Adresse Pro does

As your customer types their street address, a smart dropdown instantly suggests real, verified French addresses — pulled live from api-adresse.data.gouv.fr, the official French government address database.

One click and the entire address is filled: street, city, postcode. Accurate. Every time. No guessing. No typos. No failed deliveries.

Why store owners love it

Every feature is purpose-built to reduce checkout friction and increase delivery accuracy. Nothing you don't need.

🔧

Zero setup, zero cost

No API key. No account. No subscription. No hidden fees. Upload the addon, activate it, and it works immediately. That's it.

🏛️

100% official data

Every suggestion comes directly from France's national address registry — not a third-party database, not scraped data. The real thing, live from the government.

Faster checkout

Customers fill their full address in one click instead of four separate fields. Less friction means more completed orders and fewer abandoned carts.

📦

Fewer failed deliveries

Verified addresses mean your parcels actually arrive. Less customer service overhead, lower redelivery costs, and happier customers.

📱

Works on any device

Full keyboard navigation, mobile-optimized layout, and a touch-friendly dropdown. Tested on Nova and Responsive themes across all screen sizes.

Accessibility built in

Screen reader compatible with full ARIA support out of the box. Keyboard-navigable autocomplete that meets accessibility standards.

🏪

CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor

One addon, both platforms, all storefronts. Works on plain CS-Cart and on every vendor storefront in Multi-Vendor installations.

🚀

Lightweight & fast

Smart debouncing and request cancellation prevent unnecessary API calls. Zero performance impact on your store — customers won't even notice it's there.

How it works

Simple for your customers. Invisible in operation. Verified on every keystroke.

1

Customer starts typing

As soon as they type a street name into the address field, the addon starts listening — no button, no trigger needed.

2

Dropdown appears

A smart dropdown shows matching real French addresses, fetched live from the official government API. Results update with every keystroke.

3

Customer selects

One click (or keyboard Enter) on the correct address. Mouse, touch, or keyboard — all work seamlessly.

4

Form fills itself

Street address, city, and postcode are all populated automatically. The customer clicks Continue. Done.

What gets filled automatically

All three core address fields are populated in a single selection — the customer never has to type postcode or city.

Field Filled automatically Source
Street address api-adresse.data.gouv.fr
City api-adresse.data.gouv.fr
Postcode api-adresse.data.gouv.fr

France Adresse Pro — CS-Cart Add-On

Getting started

Up and running in under five minutes. No configuration required — but here's what you can tweak.

1

Purchase and download from CS-Cart Marketplace

Go to your CS-Cart Marketplace account and download the addon .zip file after purchase. Keep it somewhere easy to find.

2

Upload via Admin Panel

In your CS-Cart admin, go to Add-ons → Manage add-ons. Click the + button (Upload add-on). Select the downloaded zip and click Upload & Install.

💡 The addon installs in seconds. No database migration, no theme files modified, no external dependencies to configure.
3

Activate the addon

Find France Adresse Pro in the addon list and make sure its status is set to Active. That's it — the autocomplete is now live on your storefront checkout.

4

Test it

Open your storefront in a browser, go to checkout, and start typing a French street address. The autocomplete dropdown should appear immediately. Try typing 14 Rue de la P to see suggestions.

⚠️ The addon only activates on address fields for customers with France selected as their country. If France is not enabled in your CS-Cart country settings, enable it first under Administration → Shipping & Taxes → Countries.

France Adresse Pro is designed to work with zero configuration. However, a few optional settings let you fine-tune the behaviour for your store.

Access addon settings

Go to Add-ons → Manage add-ons, find France Adresse Pro, and click the addon name to open its settings panel.

Minimum characters before search

Controls how many characters the customer must type before the dropdown appears. Default is 3. Increase to reduce API calls on slow connections; decrease for faster response on fast connections.

Number of suggestions shown

How many address suggestions appear in the dropdown. Default is 5. You can set this between 3 and 10 depending on your layout and screen size needs.

No settings to worry about

There is no API key to enter, no endpoint to configure, and no account to create. The addon connects directly to api-adresse.data.gouv.fr — a free, public, rate-limit-free government API.

💡 The government API has no usage limits for normal store traffic. It is maintained by Etalab, the French government's open data team, and has been reliably available since 2015.

This is what your customers experience — and why they complete checkout faster.

1

Customer reaches the address step

During checkout or when editing their address profile, the customer sees a standard address form. The France Adresse Pro autocomplete is invisible at this point — it activates on input.

2

Customer starts typing in the street field

After typing the minimum number of characters (default: 3), a dropdown appears below the field showing up to 5 matching verified French addresses. Each suggestion shows the full street address with city and postcode.

3

Customer selects their address

They click the correct suggestion with a mouse, tap it on mobile, or navigate with the keyboard arrow keys and press Enter. All three interaction methods work identically.

4

All fields populate instantly

The street address field updates to the verified street name and number. The city and postcode fields fill automatically. The customer does not need to type anything else — they can proceed directly to the next checkout step.

💡 Customers who have never used address autocomplete before understand it intuitively. In testing, completion times for the address step drop significantly compared to manual entry.
?

The dropdown does not appear

Check that the customer has France selected as their country in the address form. The addon only activates for French addresses. Also verify the addon status is Active in Add-ons → Manage add-ons.

?

Suggestions appear but the fields don't fill on selection

This may be a theme JavaScript conflict. Check your browser console for errors. Contact mokeshop support with the error message and your CS-Cart version — we'll investigate your theme's field IDs and patch the addon accordingly.

?

The API returns no results for a valid address

The government API covers the entire French address database including overseas territories (DOM-TOM). If an address is genuinely not found, it may be a very new construction or a non-standard address. The customer can always type their address manually — the addon degrades gracefully if no suggestion is selected.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key or account to use this?
No. The addon uses api-adresse.data.gouv.fr — France's official, free, public address API maintained by the government's Etalab team. There is no registration required, no API key, no account, and no subscription. It is completely free to use with no usage limits for normal e-commerce traffic.
What CS-Cart version is required?
CS-Cart 4.x and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor 4.x. Both platforms are supported with a single license. The addon is tested on the current stable 4.x releases.
Does it work on mobile and tablet?
Yes. The dropdown is fully touch-friendly and keyboard-navigable. It is optimized for small screens and tested on both Nova and Responsive themes across mobile browsers including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android.
Which address fields does it fill?
Street address, city, and postcode are all filled automatically when the customer selects a suggestion. The customer only needs to type the beginning of the street name — the addon handles everything else.
Does it only work for France, or also DOM-TOM (overseas territories)?
The api-adresse.data.gouv.fr database covers mainland France (métropole) and the French overseas territories and departments (DOM-TOM) including Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, La Réunion, and Mayotte. Addresses in these territories will also autocomplete correctly.
Can customers still type their address manually if they prefer?
Yes. The autocomplete is a progressive enhancement — it helps customers who use it, and completely ignores customers who don't. If a customer ignores the dropdown and types their address manually, checkout works exactly as before. Nothing is blocked or required.
Does this work with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor?
Yes. One addon license covers both CS-Cart and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor. The autocomplete activates on all storefronts in a Multi-Vendor installation, including individual vendor storefronts.
Will it slow down my store?
No. The addon uses smart debouncing — it only makes an API call after the customer pauses typing, not on every keystroke. It also cancels pending requests if a new keystroke arrives before the previous one completes. The result is minimal network activity and zero impact on store performance for customers who are not filling in an address.

Install once. Deliver more. Lose less.

Your French customers are typing addresses right now. Give them autocomplete that actually works — from official government data, with zero setup.
