Editing the checkout form options
You can change some of the fields on your checkout pages so that they are required, optional, or hidden.
For example:
- If some customers abandon their carts because they don't want to provide their phone number during an online checkout, then the phone number can be set to Optional.
- If your payment provider or shipping carrier requires that the customer provide a phone number to complete the checkout, then the phone number can be set to Required.
You can change the following form options:
- Full name: Require that your customer either enter both a first and a last name, or only a last name.
- Company name: Include or hide a company name field.
- Address line 2 (apartment, unit, etc.): Include or hide an additional address line.
- Shipping address phone number: Include or hide a phone number field.
If you sell to customers in the following countries and have modified your checkout to collect house numbers, then remove your customizations:
Argentina | Austria | Belgium | Brazil | Chile |
China | Colombia | Czech Republic | Denmark | Estonia |
Finland | France | Germany | Hong Kong SAR | Hungary |
Israel | Italy | Japan | Latvia | Malaysia |
Mexico | Netherlands | New Zealand | Norway | Poland |
Portugal | Romania | Russia | Singapore | South Africa |

If you leave your customization in place, then your customer is asked to enter their house number twice.
