The what3words Autosuggest helps you capture what3words addresses at checkout, using an address validation field. By giving a what3words address, your customers can accurately pinpoint their desired delivery destination.
what3words is a global addressing system that provides the simplest way to communicate location. It has divided the World into 3 metre squares and assigned each one a unique address made of just 3 words. It is more accurate than traditional street addressing and even allows location information to be captured for places without addresses, such as parks or beaches.
It's quick and easy to implement the what3words Autosuggest Plugin. what3words addresses can be converted to GPS coordinates, which can then be passed onto delivery drivers With a what3words address, deliveries can then arrive precisely in the right place and on time, giving a more reliable delivery experience for your customers.
Your customers will have the option of providing the what3words address for their delivery location at the checkout. This gives them a way of providing delivery location without the need to add complicated delivery instructions, and helps give them peace of mind that their delivery will be made to the right place, helping them trust your business.
This plugin allows you to easily add capturing and validating a what3words address to a form on your WordPress powered site. Powered by our Autosuggest Component, the what3words address field returns suggestions based on full or partial what3words addresses, helping users with the following types of input error:
- typing errors
- spelling errors
- misremembered words (e.g. singular vs plural) or words in the wrong order.
We recommend using the plugin when you want to capture a precise location from a user, such as a customer's front door or specific entrance of a larger building.
what3words is available in 45+ languages, with pre-assigned, standardised 3 word addresses that are much easier to remember than lat/lng coordinates.
