Wix Forms: Choosing an Address Field

There are 3 different types of address fields that you can add to your form. Choose the type that fits the amount of information you want to collect:

• Basic address field: A single text box where visitors need to enter their entire address.

• Multi-line address field: A field with multiple lines for visitors to enter their address, including a second address line, a city field, country drop-down, etc.

• Autocomplete address field: A field that suggests an existing street address as you begin typing.
