SmartEntry

  • Suggests and validates addresses in the checkout form (CZ/SK and selected European countries) and standardizes postal code formatting.
  • After entering the company ID (IČO), it fills in company details from registers (name, registered address, VAT ID).
  • Verifies contact details: email (suggests domains, fixes common typos) and phone number (standardizes formatting).
  • Processes first/last name for personalization (gender detection, proper form of address in Czech/Slovak).
  • Works as a pass-through validator; it does not store customers’ sensitive data outside the e-shop.

What will the add-on bring you?

The add-on integrates the SmartEntry.app (https://smartentry.app) service, which ensures data cleanliness in your orders. It brings a significant speed-up of the shopping process for your customers (less typing, especially on mobile) and a substantial reduction in costs for returns caused by undeliverable shipments and the need to manually correct addresses or phone numbers.

The service covers comprehensive validation:

  • Addresses: Deep validation for CZ/SK, autocomplete for Europe.
  • Companies: Lightning-fast retrieval of company data for B2B orders.
  • Names: Automatic name declension (vocative), gender determination for personalized emailing, and typo checking.

How do I activate and operate the add-on?

Setup takes just a few minutes and requires no programming knowledge:

  1. Activate Add-on in Upgates: Activate the add-on for your e-shop in the Upgates administration.
  2. Registration: Create an account on SmartEntry.app (https://smartentry.app) (you have a 14-day free trial).
  3. Done: Validation will immediately appear in your e-shop's checkout.

You can conveniently manage behavior settings (e.g., whether you want to validate phones or companies as well) in the SmartEntry administration.

Why choose this particular add-on and what are its competitive advantages?

The add-on is designed for all e-shops that want to increase checkout throughput, reduce data errors, and avoid paying exorbitant amounts for such a service.

Main Advantages of SmartEntry:

  • Fair Pricing (Smart Session): Unlike the competition, you don't pay for every keystroke (API request). You pay a small fixed amount per "session" – that is, for one customer who goes through the checkout, regardless of how many times they correct the address.
  • Reduced Returns: By eliminating typos in postal codes and streets, you ensure carriers deliver the shipment on the first attempt.
  • Faster Order: Autocomplete reduces form filling time by more than 50%, directly increasing conversion rates, especially on mobile devices.
  • B2B Specialization: The "Load from Company ID" feature is a standard expected by business customers. You save them the trouble of searching for VAT ID and billing details.
