How to setup Loqate in Limio

Limio Checkout aims to make the experience of purchasing your product an efficient and seamless experience. Loqate Autocomplete helps pre-populating the checkout's address forms with address information, expedite the checkout flows, and prevent user error as below. 

Loqate works with Limio's legacy Single Page Checkout and Limio's newer Modular Checkout.

Setup in Loqate

Limio integrates to Loqate via an API Key, if you do not already have a production API Key, follow the instructions below to generate one.

1. Login to your Loqate account

2. Press the “Add Service +” button at the top of the page

3. Choose the “API Key” option from the list of services

4. This will show you your new API Key. Make a note of this as it will be used in Limio setup later.

5. Optionally, you may wish to set a Daily Lookup Limit to cap spending which can be done on the Limits tab

6. Save your new API Key and continue to setup of Loqate in Limio

Setup in Limio

On Pages:

Once set up in Loqate is complete you can add the Loqate script to the specific page you need it on, for example the checkout page:

You may also need to add it on the page with the following components:

• Orders Table (includes change delivery address for physical products)
• Payments Table (includes change billing address for all products)
• Switch Subscription (includes change delivery address for physical products)

In Settings:

Activation

You then need to configure the Loqate integration in Limio Settings. You can access the settings in Limio for Loqate, go to Profile -> Settings -> Shop.

 To enable Loqate on the Limio Checkout:

1. Enable the setting "Use Loqate in checkout?"
2. Provide the API Key, which was generated in the Loqate step, in the setting titled "Loqate API Key"

Country whitelist

Optionally, you can choose which countries Loqate is enabled for using the "Loqate country allow list" setting. Once this setting is filled out, Limio Checkout will only autocomplete in the countries specified. This provides flexibility for countries with addresses using an alphabet not currently supported by your business. Note that transliteration is currently in beta in Loqate.

Note by default Limio Checkout will limit the countries available in the Auto Complete to the Allowed Countries configured on the Limio Offer

 

Activate short address form

Optionally, you can also activate the short address form for the checkout. You can amend this by going to Profile -> General Settings -> Localisation and toggling the modal:

Which will appear as below in the checkout (for both billing and delivery address):

Allowed Hosts

After enabling the Loqate functionality, you'll also have to add exceptions (https://*.pcapredict.com, https://*.postcodeanywhere.co.uk) in the allowed hosts list in order for autocompletion to work.
