Streamline Your Customers’ Checkout Experience

Repeat customers often use multiple addresses they ship to, including gift recipients. That’s what makes the WooCommerce Address Book plugin so useful, as it gives your customers the option to store multiple billing and shipping addresses and later retrieve them on checkout. Addresses can be updated and modified quickly and easily in /my-account/, or saved as part of the checkout process.

Features

  • Enable billing/shipping address book
  • Add New Address as default selection
  • Enable setting Billing/Shipping Address Nickname during Checkout
Five star review

Quick Reference

FAQ

Why can’t I add a new address to my address book?

The address book will only begin to display after the primary billing or shipping address has been created for the customer.

Will this plugin allow my customers to ship to multiple locations with a single order?

No, this plugin only allows for the storage of multiple shipping addresses. If a customer would like to ship to multiple locations, they should complete multiple orders.

Why is the address not populating my custom fields at checkout?

Most standard custom fields do work with the Address Book. However, if you have custom fields added by a plugin which are updated by javascript then the Address Book plugin will not always know how to handle the data. If you are running into an issue please post an issue in the support forum or on github with what plugin or code you are using and as much details as you can. We will determine if the Address Book plugin is able to provide support for the plugin or if a custom solution would need to be developed for your use case.

How can I add custom fields to my billing/shipping address?
WooCommerce Address Book uses the standard WooCommerce address functions so any method to modify the address fields will still work.
