Google Maps Geocoding API
Converts addresses into geographic coordinates and returns standardized address components.
Overview
The Google Maps Geocoding API is the core of this workflow. It takes a raw address and returns a standardized, validated address along with latitude/longitude. The API is highly accurate and supports global addresses. Costs are usage-based, with a generous free tier. For high-volume stores, consider caching results to reduce costs.
