account address

11 个月 前
What is the "account address" used for?

account address = the address displayed on /customer/info  (My account - Customer info)  This address is created during registration and is used to create the default billing and shipping address (Address Record).

Changing this address does not change the address in the address book.
It has no effect on Billing or Shipping... so I'm not sure what it is for.

It's a bit confusing for a customer to login to their account and the first page they see is the /customer/info, not the /customer/addresses.  So I can see where they may update the address on the /customer/info page thinking it will update their billing address.

Can i hide it some how?

It can be used to prepopulate the Billing/Shipping address on checkout.
(It's also used by plugins like SendInBlue for contact info)

You can hide the fields by unselecting then in the  admin Customer Settings page, "Customer form fields" section.
