Hmm I think we are not talking about the same thing. While I create a new retailer, I have now two fields : Google maps and a text field. Is the text field supposed to be filled automatically by itself with the zipcode when I validate an address in google maps field?
I didn’t implement the text field in my template yet so I didn’t try the end-user part.

This is the code I put in my function.php file :

// set zipcode to certain field
add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', 'my_acf_get_address_zipcode');

function my_acf_get_address_zipcode() {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    (function($) {
        
        // do this when the map is changed
        acf.add_action('google_map_change', function( latlng, $map, $field ){
            
            // get the address using the geocoder
            acf.fields.google_map.geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng' : latlng }, function( results, status ){
				
                // get the zip code from the returned address
                var address = results[0].address_components;
                var zipcode = address[address.length - 1].long_name;
                
                // set it to a text field
                $(".zipcode_to_sort input").val(zipcode);
		    
			});
                    
        });
        
    })(jQuery);    
    </script>
    <?php    
}

This is my setting in ACF :

And this is a screenshot of 1 retailer post (admin side) :

I also have to tell you I’ve made this a few years ago when the google maps field was an paying add-on called “Advanced Custom Fields: Location Field” as I entered more than 300 retailers I never tried to adapt the code to match with the new google maps field.
