Address Handling

Each supplier's system and integration with carriers or forwarders vary, making it challenging to standardise address handling. This document outlines best practices for managing shipping addresses within the Nettailer platform.
A typical shipping address consists of at least the following components:
Recipient Name (usually a company name)
Street Name and Number
City Name
Postcode/Zipcode
Nettailer provides four address fields that can be customised using the field editor:
Address 1: This field should be used for the street name and address to ensure accurate transmission to suppliers and carriers/forwarders.
Address 2: This field can be used for additional information, e.g., "Attention" (note that not all suppliers support this field).
Address 3 & 4: These fields are NOT utilized in any Nettailer processes or supplier integrations, will only be shown in order admin and sales order XML.
To ensure seamless address handling, it is recommended that your customers complete these fields as they are commonly used for supplier integration. This practice will help avoid issues related to the transmission of address information. Failure to comply with these guidelines may lead to submission errors when attempting to transmit orders to suppliers.
