This feature can be nessesary if you are in a country or area where google has poor address coverage.
Use Address at Checkout
When this feature is activated, the customer will have an option to save a validated shipping address and it will then automatically be inserted at the shipping address form at checkout.
Learn about WooCommerce Shipping Zones
If you are a beginner working with WooCommerce Shipping Zones, it is recommended to first read trough the documentaion.
Be sure that you are aware on how the shipping zones work, and especially that only shipping methods from the first matched zone are being included at checkout.
Shipping zones match customer address from top to bottom — the first to match the customer address is always used. If no custom zones match, then Locations not covered by your other zones is used.
Add Shipping Cost Suffix
When a user selects an delivery address from the address form, it will be validated and the user will get recieve a notice if delivery is possible or not.
If using this option, the notice will also contain the shipping cost.
