what3words
what3words is an easy way to share precise locations. Every 3 metre square has been given a unique combination of three random words: a what3words address. what3words gives customers an easy way to communicate specific delivery locations so businesses can offer faster, more accurate, efficient and highly reliable deliveries – anywhere in the world.
Deliver to Precise Locations
- Checkout PageCustomers input a what3words address on a retailer’s checkout page.
- Precise LocationShipster accepts the what3words address, along with the rest of the order information.
- Book a CourierThe what3words address is pushed to the Order Management System or directly to the carrier so deliveries are sent to exactly where they're needed.

The what3words API translates 3 word addresses to GPS coordinates. It does not provide map or routing data. However, our API does provide a layer that can be used with any mapping software, meaning it can work well as part of your existing mapping, addressing and route optimisation solutions.
The results are automatically restricted to the delivery country field for all of our ecommerce plugins. For example, if a user selects a delivery country of the United Kingdom, all 3 word addresses suggested will be in the United Kingdom.
