How to Customise your Shopify Store - Customer Addresses

Customising the customer addresses section on your Shopify store can enhance the user experience by making it more intuitive and visually appealing. Here’s a guide on how to do it:

How to Customise Your Shopify Store's Customer Addresses

Step 1: Access Your Shopify Admin

  1. Log in to your Shopify account.
  2. Once logged in, you'll be directed to your Shopify admin dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Theme Editor

  1. From the Shopify admin dashboard, go to "Online Store" and click on "Themes."
  2. Locate your current theme and click the "Actions" button next to it.
  3. Select "Edit code" from the dropdown menu to open the theme editor.

Step 3: Locate the Customer Addresses Template

  1. In the theme editor, look for the "Templates" or "Sections" folder on the left-hand side.
  2. Find the file named customers/addresses.liquid. This is the template that controls the customer addresses section.

Step 4: Customise the Customer Addresses Template

  1. Click on the customers/addresses.liquid file to open it.
  2. Familiarise yourself with the existing code. This template includes HTML and Liquid code that defines how addresses are displayed and managed.
  3. Customise the template to match your brand’s style and improve usability. You can:
    • Adjust the layout to make it more user-friendly.
    • Add branding elements such as your logo, colours, and fonts.
    • Include additional instructions or helpful tips for customers on how to manage their addresses.
  4. Ensure any customisation does not interfere with the functionality of adding, editing, or deleting addresses.

Step 5: Add Custom CSS (if needed)

  1. If you need to make further style adjustments, you may need to add custom CSS.
  2. In the theme editor, look for the "Assets" folder and find your CSS file (often named theme.scss.liquid or similar).
  3. Add your custom CSS at the bottom of this file. For example, you might want to adjust the spacing, fonts, or colours of the addresses section.
  4. Save your changes.

Step 6: Preview and Test

  1. After making your changes, click the "Save" button to save your modifications.
  2. To ensure your customisations look as expected, navigate to a test customer account and go to the addresses section.
  3. Verify that the layout, design, and functionality are all working correctly. Test adding, editing, and deleting addresses to ensure everything functions as it should.

Step 7: Make Additional Adjustments (if necessary)

If you notice any issues or areas for improvement during testing, go back to the theme editor and make the necessary adjustments. Repeat the testing process until you are satisfied with the customisations.

Conclusion

Customising the customer addresses section on your Shopify store can significantly enhance the user experience, making it easier for your customers to manage their addresses while reflecting your brand's identity. By following these steps, you can create a seamless and visually appealing addresses section that meets the needs of your customers.
