Canadian businesses, nonprofits, and e-commerce sites need address forms that match how Canadians actually write their addresses — not US-style state and ZIP fields. Visitors expect Province and Postal Code labels, a dropdown of provinces and territories, and validation that accepts formats like K1A 0A6, not five-digit ZIP codes. Auto Form Builder includes a dedicated Address field with a built-in Canada preset. One selection configures province dropdown, Canadian postal code validation, correct field labels, and a hidden country field locked to Canada — no custom code or third-party APIs required. Last updated: Last update 10 August The Address field lives under the Advanced category in the form builder. When you choose the Canada address type preset, Auto Form Builder applies these settings automatically: The preset is designed for forms that collect Canadian addresses only — shipping forms, service area requests, membership applications, donation forms, and local event registrations. When the Canada preset is active, the Province field renders as a dropdown populated from the plugin’s region data. All provinces and territories are included: Submissions store the two-letter province code (e.g., In WordPress admin, go to Auto Form Builder → All Forms. Open an existing form or click Create New Form. From the field palette, find Address under the Advanced category. Drag it onto the form canvas and click the field to open its settings panel. Under Address Type, open the Address Type Preset dropdown and choose Canada. The preset description reads: Optimized for Canadian addresses with province dropdown. This single selection applies the province dropdown, Canadian labels, hidden country field, and strict postal validation in one step. Set a clear Field Label such as Shipping Address or Mailing Address. Enable Required Field in the base field settings if the address must be submitted with the form. Address Line 1 and City are always included in the address field. Province and Postal Code are shown by default with the Canada preset. Click Show Advanced Settings to fine-tune the field: Click Save Form, preview on desktop and mobile, then publish with the shortcode or embed code from the Forms screen. The primary street address line. Always shown and always required within the address field structure. Optional second line for unit numbers, buzzer codes, or building names.

Rendered as a Frontend validation checks that the selected value is a valid Canadian province code when the dropdown is active. Accepts Canadian postal codes in the standard alternating letter-number format. With strict validation enabled (the Canada preset default), the field enforces the pattern Submitted postal codes are normalized: non-alphanumeric characters are stripped, the value is uppercased, and a space is inserted after the third character when six characters are entered (e.g., The country field is hidden and locked to Canada ( The Canada preset sets Validation Strictness to Strict by default. In strict mode: If you need to accept partial or non-standard entries (for example, during early testing), switch to Lenient under advanced validation settings. For production Canadian forms, keep strict mode enabled. Beyond the preset defaults, advanced settings let you adapt the field to your form design: Enable Enable Browser Autocomplete to add standard HTML autocomplete attributes ( Enable Company/Organization to add a business name input above the street address — useful for B2B order forms or invoice requests. Auto Form Builder stores address data in a dedicated address table linked to each submission. For Canadian entries, stored fields include: Structured storage makes exports and submission views cleaner than a single free-text address block, and province codes stay consistent for downstream shipping or CRM tools. If your form accepts both Canadian and US addresses, use the International preset or Custom settings with the country field visible — not the Canada-only preset. The Address field supports conditional logic like any other field. Show a Billing Address field only when a “Different billing address” checkbox is checked, or reveal province-specific follow-up questions when QC or BC is selected. Rules evaluate in real time as visitors change their answers. The Canada address preset focuses on form collection and validation — not external address services. Auto Form Builder does not include: For most WordPress contact, registration, and order-intake forms, the built-in province dropdown and postal validation are sufficient. Connect verified addresses to your shipping or CRM tools after submission. Canadian address forms with province dropdown, postal code validation, and structured storage are included in the free plugin — the same plugin that gives you drag-and-drop form building, submission management, spam protection, and email notifications at no cost.
