Add and Manage Customer Addresses

Learn how to add, update, and manage billing and shipping addresses for a customer.

Updated this week

Overview

Customer addresses are used for billing, shipping, and other delivery locations. You can add and manage multiple addresses for a customer at any time.

Addresses are optional and can be added or updated after the customer is created.


When to Use This

Add or update addresses when you need to:

  • Define billing or shipping locations

  • Manage multiple delivery addresses

  • Update existing address information

  • Set primary billing or shipping addresses


How to Add a Customer Address

  1. Navigate to Sales → Customers

  2. Select the customer

  3. Go to the Addresses tab

  4. Click Add address

  5. Enter the required address information

  6. Select applicable address options

  7. Click Save or Save & add another

The address is saved and immediately available for use.


Required Fields

The following fields are required to save an address:

  • Country

  • Address name
    (For example: Main Warehouse, Billing Office, Retail Store)

  • Address line 1

If any required field is missing, the address cannot be saved.


Optional Address Fields

Depending on your configuration, additional fields may include:

  • Address line 2

  • City

  • State / Province

  • Postal code

  • Phone number

  • Delivery instructions

These fields are optional unless configured otherwise by your organization.


Address Lookup (US and Canada)

For addresses in the United States and Canada, an address lookup is available.

When you start typing the address:

  • The system suggests matching addresses

  • Selecting a suggestion automatically fills in address details

  • This helps reduce entry errors and improve delivery accuracy

You can also manually enter the address if needed.


Address Options

You can assign one or more options to each address:

  • Billing – Used for invoicing

  • Shipping – Used for shipments

  • Primary billing – Default billing address

  • Primary shipping – Default shipping address

  • Residential – Indicates a residential delivery location

A customer can have multiple addresses, but only one primary billing and one primary shipping address.


Update an Address

  1. Open the customer record

  2. Go to the Addresses tab

  3. Select the address you want to update

  4. Make your changes

  5. Save the address

Updates apply immediately and are used going forward.


Delete an Address

  1. Open the customer record

  2. Go to the Addresses tab

  3. Select the address

  4. Click Delete

Deleting an address does not affect past orders, invoices, or shipments.


Best Practices

  • Use clear address names to distinguish locations

  • Set primary billing and shipping addresses to reduce order entry errors

  • Use address lookup when available to improve accuracy

  • Keep addresses up to date to avoid delivery issues
