</aside>

EVRI now accepts your end customers’ what3words addresses for accurate deliveries.

If you are an EVRI client or technology partner who has an EVRI EDI integration, you can offer your end customers the ability to provide their what3words address, which is shared in the pre-advice file. See more about how to integrate and use via EDI below.

<aside> ⚠️ To collect what3words addresses from your customers, you’ll first need to add a what3words address field to your checkout page or CRM. To do so you can use one of our existing plugins or the what3words API. You can take a look at these options and find out more information here.

Collecting what3words addresses from end-customers - integration setup guide

• In order to pass on what3words addresses to EVRI, clients need to capture what3words addresses from their customers, in the same way you capture and store traditional address information.
  1. If you are an eCommerce retailer - you can integrate what3words onto your online eCommerce website, which is as simple as adding an optional address capture field on checkout/account pages. We have all the developer documentations available for this on our website: https://what3words.com/business/ecommerce
  2. If you are a B2B customer - you can integrate what3words into a variety of software systems, such as CRMs and ERPs, or build your own integration. More information is available here: https://developer.what3words.com/public-api
• Once you have integrated what3words on your platforms, this information will be automatically passed on to EVRI via the flat-file transfer process.
