# `Shop.billingAddress` uses new type, deprecates name fields

As of **2023-01**, the `Shop.billingAddress` field uses a new `ShopAddress` type instead of the customer-centric `MailingAddress` type.

Since `Shop.billingAddress` never returns non-null first or last names, these fields have been marked as deprecated on the new `ShopAddress` type. You should stop requesting those fields as they will be removed in a later version.
