Address Book

Address books simplify and speed up the checkout process. Rather than type frequently used shipping addresses each time a purchase is made, customers can select an entry from their address book. Customers choose a unique name to identify each address book entry. All entries are saved regardless of how frequently each is used. An address book entry named Billing is automatically added for the customer when their store account is created.

HostedStore supports having different billing and shipping countries. For example, a store may only ship to the United States of America and Canada, but will accept orders from any country. If the store is configured that way and an address book entry for a non-shipping country is selected, then the mismatch is caught and the customer is asked to choose a different shipping country. To prevent frustrated customers, it is recommended that shipping policies, including shipping states/provinces/regions and countries, are clearly detailed in the help center.
