Cybercom ZIP Autofill

Free ZIP-code autofill for any form — city, state, county and area code fill themselves in. Plus the [zip_info] and [zip_time] shortcodes.

v1.0.1 Free

What it does

Autofill any form

Auto-detects ZIP, city and state fields by name in WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor and plain HTML.

Manual wiring too

data-zip-lookup and data-zip-fill attributes for any field the detector cannot guess.

[zip_info] shortcode

Inline city, state, county or area code for any ZIP, anywhere on the site.

[zip_time] shortcode

A live local clock for a ZIP code — useful for service hours and call windows.

No signup

The plugin registers its own free key on install. There is nothing to create an account for.

Self-host the API

Point it at your own copy of the lookup service and no request leaves your network.

Server-side caching

Shortcode lookups cache for 24 hours by default, so repeat views cost nothing.

Sends almost nothing

Only the ZIP or city the visitor typed. No personal data leaves the site.

Address fields are where forms go to die. Visitors mistype the city, pick the wrong state, and you spend the rest of the month cleaning data by hand.

Cybercom ZIP Autofill fixes that for nothing. A visitor types five digits, and the city, state, county and area code complete themselves — in WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor or plain HTML, detected automatically by field name. It is a complete plugin, not a trial: no expiry, no nag screen, and nothing withheld to force an upgrade. Lookups run against our service at zipcode.cybercom.biz, which currently holds 41,761 ZIP codes, and the plugin registers its own free key on install so you never type one. You can also point it at your own self-hosted copy of the API if you would rather it never left your network.

Questions about this product

Is this a trial?

No. No expiry and no feature held hostage. Pro adds capability the free edition does not have; it does not unlock something hidden inside it.

Do I need an account or a key?

No. The plugin registers a free per-site key on install, which is only there so the service can apply the fair-use limit.

What is the limit?

A per-site fair-use cap on lookups, comfortably above what a normal business site's forms use. Pro removes it.

What does Pro add?

ZIP boundary maps, district maps, the full census dossier, the [zip_card], [zip_cities] and [zip_lookup] shortcodes, richer autofill fields, unlimited lookups and automatic updates.

What do you receive?

The ZIP code or city the visitor entered, and your site address. No personal data is sent.

Can I run it entirely myself?

Yes. Change the API endpoint in settings to your own copy of the service.

Does it cover Canada or the UK?

Not yet. US ZIP codes only today.
