Some out-of-the-box widgets allow shoppers to modify their billing and shipping addresses while others do not. In account-based storefronts, addresses are managed at the account level and shoppers should not be allowed to modify them. As such, these widgets should be used appropriately, depending on the types of shopper your storefront supports. The following widgets affect address editing:
The Customer Address Book widget, on the Checkout Layout and Checkout Layout with GiftCard layouts, allows address creation and editing. By contrast, the Account Address Book widget on these layouts allows a contact to choose an address from those defined for the account and to specify a person to ship to but further editing of the address is not available.
The Customer Profile Widget on the Profile Layout allows customers to edit their billing and shipping addresses. To restrict address editing, account-based storefronts must create a new profile widget that displays profile information but does not enable address editing. For details on creating the new profile widget, see Manage Account-based Shopper Profiles in Extending Oracle Commerce Cloud.
