# Address Import via SFTP

> Create delivery and collection addresses in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP, linked to the relevant account.

You can create delivery and collection addresses in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP, rather than adding each one manually.

<Tip>**Template:** <a href="/images/templates/standard_address_import_template.csv" download>standard\_address\_import\_template.csv</a> — download it, fill in your data, and upload it via SFTP.</Tip>

## Key fields

The template includes every available column. The essentials are:

| Field                   | Purpose                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `code`                  | Unique address code                         |
| `address_type`          | `DeliveryAddress` or `CollectionAddress`    |
| `name`                  | Contact / recipient name                    |
| `address_1`–`address_5` | Address lines                               |
| `postcode`              | Postcode                                    |
| `country`               | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. `GB`) |
| `account_code`          | The account the address belongs to          |

Contact details (`phone_number`, `email_address`) and `external_system_reference1`–`3` are also included — fill in any that apply.
