Why Google Autocomplete Has a Cost on Releasit
Google Autocomplete is not a free service. It’s a paid feature provided by Google to help businesses improve address accuracy and reduce delivery errors by suggesting real-time address matches from Google Maps data.
This feature is part of Google’s Places API, which is used in various applications to enhance location-based functionality. Every time a customer starts typing their address and selects a suggested result, that interaction is counted as an Autocomplete session.
Google charges developers $0.017 per Autocomplete session. You can read more about what defines a session in this guide.
You can also find the full pricing details on Google’s official site: Google Maps Platform Pricing
On Releasit, Autocomplete sessions are billed at $0.020. This small difference covers Shopify transaction fees associated with account top-ups. Releasit does not make a profit from this feature.
We provide it at cost to support merchants in reducing address errors, improving delivery success, and creating a better checkout experience.
If you have any questions about how Google Autocomplete works or how billing is calculated, feel free to contact our support team directly from the app.
