Update Billing Address

[NikIla]

Hello everybody.

I'm currently seeking a solution to automatically populate buyer information during the checkout process. I've been experimenting with a checkout UI extension developed in React. When a buyer navigates to the checkout panel, I invoke an external API using his email to retrieve his shipping and billing address details (as the user information is stored in a separate system). I can successfully update the shipping address using the useApplyShippingAddressChange() hook. However, I'm facing a challenge when it comes to modifying the billing address. Is this not supported? every help is really appreciated, thanks a lot

Hi there 👋

At this time it is not possible to programatically update the billing address, and it is not currently on the roadmap to add this.

If you are able to answer a few questions about your use case I can pass this information to the product team for future consideration.

Do your customers commonly have different shipping or billing addresses or would they often select to use the same shipping and billing address?

Is there a reason why this information is saved externally and cannot be added to Shopify?
