What3words is a proprietary service, the company's algorithm and database are intellectual property they dearly protect. Moreover the system has some technical shortcomings. More on that at the OSM wiki article what3words.

There are free alternatives that go much better with the open spirit of QGIS itself, like what3fucks. It has derivatives, a list of them is at http://www.what3fucks.com/#network. In my opinion those are actually more worthwhile to support than what3words.
