--- title: Addresses API description: >- Access the buyer's shipping and billing addresses and update the shipping address during checkout. Requires Level 2 protected customer data access. api_version: 2026-07-rc source_url: html: >- https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/2026-07-rc/target-apis/checkout-apis/addresses-api md: >- https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/2026-07-rc/target-apis/checkout-apis/addresses-api.md api_name: checkout-ui-extensions --- # Addresses API **Requires level 2 access to \[protected customer data]\(/docs/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data).:** The Addresses API provides access to the buyer's shipping and billing addresses during checkout. Use this API to display address details, show location-specific information, and update the shipping address. The billing address is read-only. There's no method to modify it from an extension. `shippingAddress` is `undefined` when the cart contains only digital products or delivery isn't required. ### Use cases * **Display the shipping destination**: Show the buyer's city, province, and country to confirm their shipping location. * **Show billing information**: Display the billing address to confirm the buyer's payment details. * **Modify the shipping address**: Update the shipping address programmatically, such as pre-filling a postal code or correcting a field. ### Support Targets (33) ### Supported targets *

object](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/2026-07-rc#target-apis-define-what-your-extension-does) provides address data for the current checkout. Access the following properties on `shopify` to read the buyer's addresses. Available to `purchase` extension targets. * **billingAddress** **SubscribableSignalLike\** The proposed customer billing address. The address updates when the field is committed (on change) rather than every keystroke. The property is available only if the extension has access to protected customer data. The subscribable value is `undefined` if the billing address hasn't been provided yet. [](https://shopify.dev/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data)Requires access to [protected customer data](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data). * **shippingAddress** **SubscribableSignalLike\** The proposed customer shipping address. During the information step, the address updates when the field is committed (on change) rather than every keystroke. The property is available only if the extension has access to protected customer data. When available, the subscribable value is `undefined` if delivery isn't required. [](https://shopify.dev/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data)Requires access to [protected customer data](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data). ### SubscribableSignalLike Represents a reactive signal interface that provides both immediate value access and subscription-based updates. Enables real-time synchronization with changing data through the observer pattern. This interface extends \`ReadonlySignalLike\` with deprecated fields that are still supported for backwards compatibility. * current The current value of the signal. Equivalent to \`.value\`, accessing this property subscribes to changes when used in a reactive context. ```ts T ``` * destroy Cleans up the subscription and releases any resources held by this signal. After calling \`destroy()\`, the signal stops receiving updates from the main thread. ```ts () => Promise ``` * subscribe Subscribes to value changes and calls the provided function whenever the value updates. Returns an unsubscribe function to clean up the subscription. Use to automatically react to changes in the signal's value. ```ts (fn: (value: T) => void) => () => void ``` * value The current value of the signal. This property provides immediate access to the current value without requiring subscription setup. Use for one-time value checks or initial setup. ```ts T ``` ### MailingAddress * address1 The first line of the street address, including the street number and name. The value is \`undefined\` if the buyer hasn't entered an address yet. {% include /apps/checkout/privacy-icon.md %} Requires level 2 access to \[protected customer data]\(/docs/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data). ```ts string ``` * address2 The second line of the buyer's address, such as apartment number, suite, or unit.

Access the following methods on `shopify` to apply shipping address changes. Available to `purchase.checkout` extension targets. * **applyShippingAddressChange** **(change: ShippingAddressUpdateChange) => Promise\** Updates the buyer's shipping address on the checkout. The provided fields are merged into the existing address without prompting the buyer. On success, the `shippingAddress` property updates to reflect the change. **Note:** This method returns an error if the \cart instruction\ \\delivery.can\Select\Custom\Address\\ is false, or the buyer is using an accelerated checkout method, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. [](https://shopify.dev/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data)Requires access to [protected customer data](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/store/data-protection/protected-customer-data). ### ShippingAddressUpdateChange Updates the buyer's shipping address on the checkout. Pass this to \`applyShippingAddressChange()\` to modify specific address fields without replacing the entire address. * address Fields to update in the shipping address. You only need to provide values for the fields you want to update. Any fields you don't list keep their current values. ```ts Partial ``` * type Identifies this as a shipping address update. This is the only supported change type for \`applyShippingAddressChange()\`. ```ts 'updateShippingAddress' ``` ### ShippingAddressChangeResult The result of calling \`applyShippingAddressChange()\`. Use the \`type\` property to determine whether the change succeeded or failed. On failure, the \`errors\` array contains field-level details. ```ts ShippingAddressChangeResultSuccess | ShippingAddressChangeResultError ``` ### ShippingAddressChangeResultSuccess The result of a successful shipping address change. The \`type\` property is \`'success'\` and \`errors\` is \`null\`. * errors Always \`null\` for a successful address change. Present so that you can check \`result.errors\` without narrowing the union type first. ```ts null ``` * type Indicates that the shipping address change was applied successfully. ```ts 'success' ``` ### ShippingAddressChangeResultError The result of a failed shipping address change. Check the \`errors\` array for field-level details about what went wrong. * errors The list of field-level errors that prevented the address change. Each entry identifies which address field failed and why. ```ts ShippingAddressChangeFieldError[] ``` * type Indicates that the shipping address change couldn't be applied. Check the \`errors\` array for field-level details. ```ts 'error' ``` ### ShippingAddressChangeFieldError An error corresponding to a particular field from a given change. Use the \`field\` property to determine which address field caused the error. * field The \`MailingAddress\` field that caused the error, such as \`'countryCode'\` or \`'zip'\`. The value is \`undefined\` if the error isn't specific to a single field. ```ts keyof MailingAddress ``` * message A message that explains the error. This message is useful for debugging. It isn't localized and shouldn't be displayed to the buyer. ```ts string ``` Examples ### Examples * #### ##### Description Show the buyer's city, province, and country to confirm their shipping location. This example renders \`shopify.shippingAddress\` fields, with a fallback banner when no address has been entered. ##### jsx ```jsx import '@shopify/ui-extensions/preact'; import {render} from 'preact'; export default function extension() { render(, document.body); } function Extension() { const shippingAddress = shopify.shippingAddress?.value; if (!shippingAddress) { return ( No shipping address has been entered yet. ); } const parts = [ shippingAddress.city, shippingAddress.provinceCode, shippingAddress.countryCode, ].filter(Boolean); return ( Shipping to: {parts.join(', ')} ); } ``` * #### ##### Description Format the billing address as a single-line string. This example filters the optional address fields like city, province, and country, and joins them into a readable line. ##### jsx ```jsx import '@shopify/ui-extensions/preact'; import {render} from 'preact'; export default function extension() { render(, document.body); } function Extension() { const billingAddress = shopify.billingAddress?.value; if (!billingAddress) { return null; } const formattedAddress = [ billingAddress.address1, billingAddress.city, billingAddress.provinceCode, billingAddress.countryCode, ] .filter(Boolean) .join(', '); return ( {formattedAddress} ); } ``` *** ## Best practices * **Preserve buyer input with partial updates**: When updating the shipping address, include only the fields you need to change. Unspecified fields keep their current values, so you don't accidentally clear what the buyer already entered. * **Hide mutation UI when changes are blocked**: Check `delivery.canSelectCustomAddress` via the [Cart Instructions API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/apis/cart-instructions) before rendering address modification controls. If it's `false`, hide the feature entirely rather than showing an error after the buyer interacts with it. *** ## Limitations * Shipping address changes aren't available when the buyer uses an accelerated checkout method such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. ***
