Postcode Lookup (PAF) Setup Guide

Control > Settings > PAF Provider Profiles

1.- Go to the screen and click on the Add button:

2.- Select the PAF provider

3.- Give the profile a Name and copy/paste the API and Administration keys from the getAddress() Security screen and Save:

You have now set up the PAF Provider Profile:

Control > Commerce > Checkout Profiles > (Add/Edit) > Addresses > PAF Provider Profile

Select the newly created PAF Provider Profile from the droplist and save the Checkout Profile.

There are some validations that need to occur before Affino can show this tool (i.e. in case of an API error or lack of credits,). 

• The Checkout Profile needs to have a PAF Provider Profile
• Check there is no API error or out-of-credit error
• Check if the users’ IP location is in the UK

Note: if the user selects UK as their country, the PAF tool will be shown

If the validations are successful, the Address 1, Address 2, and County/State fields will be hidden, leaving only the Country and Postcode/Zip fields:

Please see sample video:

PAF Validation is also present on the My Account > Other Addresses screen on the display side.

Please see sample video:

Control > Security > Demographic Profiles > (Add/Edit) > Form Fields > PAF Provider Profile

Just as PAF Validation works on the Checkout page, it also works on the demographic screen (when a user fills in their details for the first time or when editing their profile). 

Setting the PAF Provider Profile on the Demographic Profile will enable the option on the display side screen, with the same logic as per our Checkout page.

The following fields need to be enabled on the Demographic Profile for PAF Validation to work:

• Address 1
• Town/City
• Country
• Postcode

If the aforementioned fields are not selected, the Demographic Profile cannot be saved with the PAF Provider Profile.
