It depends on what you mean by "receive client's address from osm". Do you mean picking an address on a map rendering using OSM data, selecting from a list of addresses generated from OSM data, or something else? "OSM" itself is just a big database of data and you can do many things with that data.

https://www.mapbox.com/mobile/ may be a good starting point.

So when someone registers, they will type in their address, right ? Your server will then receive that address, store it in your database. Then you want to display a map with a marker for that address.

so you need

  • a web form and an underlying database
  • a geocoder, e.g.Nominatim which translates the address to lat/lon
  • and some display technology for the map and the marker. This can be achieved with Leaftlet or OpenLayers Javascript libraries.

I doubt that you can accomplish this all if you are not a programmer.

If you want a business to show on map like this one https://osm.org/go/eu62_HbiF?m= and you want it to be found by a nominatum search you or somebody will have to map it correctly and add it to OSM. Read the Wiki info on adding a business. In edit mode you can look at the above and other businesses to learn what you need to do. Is this is what you are asking?
