An address can be marked for Delivery, Billing or Any use. The type they choose determines where the address will appear during checkout. ### What the address types mean - **Delivery** – This address can only be used for delivery.  It will appear in the delivery step at checkout. - **Billing** – This address can only be used for billing.  It will appear in the billing step at checkout. - **Any** – This address can be used for both delivery and billing. At the billing step, you can select **“My billing address is the same as my delivery address”** to reuse it automatically. ### Adding an address with a type To add a new address and set its type: 1. Go to **My Account → Addresses** and click **Add Address**. 2. Enter the address details in the form. 3. Under **Address Type**, choose **Delivery**, **Billing** or **Any**.  This sets how the address will be available during checkout. 4. Choose whether the address is private (visible only to you) or shared with your company. If you select **Yes** on *“Make this address visible to all members of your company”*, everyone in your company can use it at checkout; otherwise it remains personal to you. **Note:** This feature is available to Business Account customers only.[Learn More](https://resources.symphonycommerce.io/knowledge-base/how-to-manage-shared-addresses-and-types?hsLang=en) 5. (Optional) Select **Use as default delivery address** or **Use as default billing address** if you want this address pre-selected for future orders. You can change your default addresses at any time from **My Account → Addresses**. ![](https://resources.symphonycommerce.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-16-2026-01-21-17-3175-PM.png?width=400&height=660&name=image-png-Mar-16-2026-01-21-17-3175-PM.png)   ### Using addresses at checkout When you go through checkout, the system filters your addresses based on their type: - On the **delivery** step you will see addresses marked **Delivery** or **Any**.  These are the addresses you can ship to. - On the **billing** step you will see addresses marked **Billing** or **Any**.  These are used for invoices.  If you selected an **Any** address for delivery, you can choose to use it for billing too by checking **“My billing address is the same as my delivery address”**. If you select a **Delivery-only** address for delivery, you must choose a separate billing address — the same-address option will be disabled on the billing step. Equally, **Billing-only** addresses are not available for delivery.   - [Getting started](https://resources.symphonycommerce.io/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://resources.symphonycommerce.io/knowledge-base/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) -
