Shipping and Billing Method page (B2B)

In the Shipping and Billing Method page, customers can provide shipping and billing information for their order. Customers can also change order details and set the order as a recurring order.

A number of fields in this page are controlled by the terms of the contract that the customer is shopping under. These fields include the shipping and billing addresses, the shipping method and charge type, payment method, billing method, and purchase order number. For example:
  • If the contract specifies only one shipping address, that shipping address is automatically displayed in the page. The customer cannot create or edit the shipping address, or select a different address.
  • If the contract does not allow for payment by credit line, the credit line option is excluded from the Billing Method list.
