# Adding a Client's Address

> Store a physical address on each client — added by your team in the client form with Google address search (and a manual fallback), or by clients themselves from their online-booking profile. Imports and exports with your client list and appears on tax-invoice receipts.

Every client can have a **physical address** on their profile. Your team adds it in the client details form, or a client can add their own from their online-booking account — and Bella keeps it with the rest of the client's details, so it imports, exports, and shows on their tax-invoice receipt.

The address is powered by **Google address search**: start typing and pick the match, and Bella fills in the street, suburb, state, postcode and country for you. For the rare address Google doesn't have, there's a **manual fallback** so you can type it in by hand.

<Note>
  The fields adapt to your business's country. An Australian business sees **Suburb**, **State** and **Postcode**; a UK business sees **Town/City**, **County** and an alphanumeric **Postcode**; a US business sees **City**, **State** and **ZIP code**. You never have to force an address into the wrong shape.

## Adding an address to a client

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the client">
    Go to **Clients** and either **Add client** or click an existing client to edit them. You'll find the **Address** field in the client details form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search for the address">
    Start typing the client's address and pick the matching suggestion. Bella fills in the street, suburb, state, postcode and country, and shows a tidy summary of what it captured.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Can't find it? Enter it manually">
    Choose **Enter it manually** to type the address into the individual fields instead — useful for a new estate or an address Google doesn't list yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the client as usual. To remove an address later, clear the fields and save.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  An address is always **optional** — leave it blank for any client who doesn't need one.
</Tip>

## Letting clients add their own address

Clients can add and update their own address from **My Profile** in your online-booking site, alongside their name and date of birth. They get the same address search your team uses, and whatever they enter flows straight onto their client record — no re-keying for you.

<Note>
  A client's address is their own. Bella never copies your business address onto a client, and family members each keep their own address.

## Importing and exporting addresses

When you [import clients from a CSV](/clients/import), you can map address columns — street, suburb/city, state, postcode and country — so the addresses you're migrating in come across with everything else. If an imported client matches one you already have, a blank address is filled from the import, and an existing address is kept.

Addresses are included in the **CSV export** of your Clients list, so you always have your data to hand.

***

## Where the address appears

* On the **client's profile** and edit form in your dashboard.
* On the client's **tax-invoice receipt**, where it identifies the recipient — useful where a tax invoice requires the buyer's details (for example, in Australia the ATO requires them on tax invoices of A\$1,000 or more).
* In your Clients **CSV export**.

<Note>
  A client's address is treated as ordinary contact information — visible to any team member who can view clients, and never shown on your public booking page or in JSON-LD.
