S.O.S! I need a form/plugin, that automatically recognizes the company address because of the company name (maybe from google?) and also fills. Somebody know a Plugin, that make this possible at all to build a form that automatically fills in the address based on the company name? Example: [https://www.colons.de/company/register/step-2])
I would be very happy for any help or experience!

This is gonna have at least like 3 pieces to it. So first piece, you’ll need to build out an index saying here’s the company name and here’s the address associated with it. I’d suggest using advanced custom fields to make global options for your site for this one.
Next you’ll need some JavaScript that watches your form field for newly typed characters, when it sees a new letter it sends an Ajax call to the backend to see if we have a business with that title saved in our index. If we do, we respond back with the address and use JavaScript to set the other form fields.
I’d be interested to see if there’s some sort of api to get business locations but I fear if you typed like “McDonald’s” it wouldn’t know which one you were talking about.
Similarly, you could build out your index and offer your user a select drop down of all existing businesses for them to pick from and when you change the select it updates the form fields, that way gets rid of the Ajax call at least.
