Installation Guide for OXID 4
Endereco Address Management Service Module (AMS)
For OXID 4.7.x - 4.10.x PE, or 5.0.x - 5.3.x EE
Level 1
Suggestions for entered address fragments are displayed in an autocomplete function of street, postcode and city. This works on PCs, tablets and smartphones. Address entry is simplified, accelerated and the error rate is massively reduced.
The Endereco first name database with over 30,000 entries can recognise gender-specific first names and marks the corresponding salutation field of your webshop. Ambiguous or unknown names are ignored. Upper and lower case is automatically corrected.
An entered e-mail address is checked for various characteristics in real time:
- Valid syntax of the e-mail address
- Valid country domain
- Is the mailbox full or deliverable?
- If it is a one-way address or SPAM e-mail address
Different ways of writing telephone numbers are very common. Endereco tidies up and gives telephone numbers a uniform, standardised spelling. In addition, Endereco distinguishes between mobile numbers and landline numbers and can include this feature if desired. Invalid prefixes are recognized and marked
Level 2
The address check validates entered fields for validity in the overall context. Valid correction proposals are automatically offered for entries that are not plausible. The customer can choose between his entry and one of the correction codes.
Example: Swap "street" and "postal code":
| Before | After |
|---|---|
 |

After adjusting the field order, the address fields should look like this:
2.4 Activating the module in the admin backend

- Save entries
You have the possibility to switch different services on and off:
"Status display" adds warning and success icons to the form. An activation / deactivation has no influence on the functionality of other services. It only serves to visualize the check results.
"address services" include Input Assistant and address validation. The Input Assistant generates the suggestions for postcode, associated city and streets for the customer based on the entered data, and automatically inserts selected data in the corresponding address fields. In case of address validation, all address data are checked after leaving the address form fields. If there is an error, the customer is asked via a popup window whether he wants to keep his input or accept a correction suggestion, even if the customer logs in and is guided through the checkout process via the "address page". In this way, old master data can be cleaned up and addresses can be broken down in case of errors.
"Check addresses also for existing customers" means that the address data of existing customers are also checked once at checkout.
"Email verification" verifies the syntax, deliverability and existence of an entered email address. It also checks whether it is a disposable or spam address.
"Salutation check" determines whether selected salutation matches the first name and corrects upper and lower case. Names that are not known or may be ambiguous are not marked as incorrect.
"Phone Service" verifies if a phone number prefix exists and formats the numbers according to the dialled format. There are 10 formats available. This function is currently only available for German telephone numbers.
