Context #
Brands that ship gifts or kits to executives, partners, or VIP customers need a fast way to reuse approved addresses. Re-typing details slows teams and causes costly delivery mistakes.
What you can achieve with this use case #
- Store recipient lists per account (VIPs, partners, event attendees).
- Keep Billing = HQ and pick Shipping = recipient with one click.
- Auto-fill checkout to speed bulk or recurring orders.
How it looks in your store #

The buyer chooses a saved recipient from Select Address; fields auto-fill.
My Account → Address Book #
Cards for Shipping (recipients) and a separate Billing (HQ) with Make Primary.

Marketing saves executive addresses for year-end gifts. At checkout they pick the recipient and place the order in seconds.
