17 min
feature overview address management gives you one place to manage shipping addresses you use on shi one and shi com there are two distinct types of addresses personal addresses your own shipping addresses available to every user, manageable only by you, and automatically available in any storefront you access organizational addresses shared shipping addresses tied to a specific storefront available to users with the right permissions and shared with everyone who shops in that storefront why it matters faster, more accurate checkout through address autocomplete and a map preview a clean separation between addresses you own and addresses your organization shares group based organization and a default address for organizational addresses, which flow into shi com checkout automatically who it is for all users personal addresses storefront managers, procurement admins, global admins, and shi one admin users organizational addresses for their storefront key terms explained personal address a shipping address you own only you can view or edit it it is available across every storefront you access organizational address a shipping address that belongs to a storefront and is shared with that storefront's users address group a label (tag) applied to one or more organizational addresses, for example "hq" or "west coast" groups display as chips groups apply only to organizational

step of shi com checkout right after you create them use cases and scenarios primary use cases a traveling employee adds a hotel address as a personal address so a one time shipment can be sent there from any storefront a storefront manager onboards new campus sites as organizational addresses and groups them by region for faster checkout a procurement admin changes the default address after a corporate headquarters move so checkout always starts with the right ship to a global admin filters organizational addresses by state to confirm coverage before a bulk order rollout best practices fill in site name when you create an address without it, the list falls back to ship to, then to the street address keep group names short and consistent (for example by region or business unit) use autocomplete whenever possible to reduce typos and zip errors override only when the suggestion is wrong keep your personal addresses tidy confirm the default flag before validating shi com checkout behavior troubleshooting and faqs common issues "i do not see manage addresses or the addresses tab " you probably do not have the required role for organizational addresses personal addresses are still available from your profile dropdown under my addresses "autocomplete is not finding my address " you can manually complete the fields and still save the address the provider is pigeon maps with openstreetmap "my default address is not showing in shi com checkout " confirm exactly one address shows the star if checkout was open before the change, refresh the session "i cannot find a group i created " groups appear after at least one address is saved with that group reopen the address to confirm the chip persisted "the name column shows the street address instead of a label " the address has no site name or ship to edit the address and add a site name "where did the address option in shi com account settings go?" shi com account settings now hides or redirects this functionality back to shi one faqs can a personal address belong to a group? no groups apply only to organizational addresses can i set a default personal address? no defaults apply only to organizational addresses will my personal addresses work in every storefront i access? yes they persist across storefronts automatically can one organizational address belong to multiple groups? yes groups behave as tags and appear as chips can i bulk upload or export addresses? not in this release bulk upload and export are planned for a future release
