Configuring Checkout Core Fields #

General Options #

Here’s a description of all the options in this tab:

• Fields with which the default address fields in the Checkout page will be overridden if you select a value for the Override Default Address Fields
• Fields with which the country locale fields in the Checkout page will be overridden if you select a value for the Override Country Locale Address Fields.

Your available options for the above 2 fields are:

1. Override with billing fields – Default address field values will be replaced with billing field values;
2. Override with shipping fields – Default address field values will be replaced with shipping field values;
3. Do not override – Default address field values will not be replaced or overridden.

Let’s talk about the next options now:

• Select Enable for the Force Fields Sort by Priority if the fields should be sorted by priority. Enable this field if you face theme-related issues with “priority (i.e. order)” options.
• The Checking Relation dropdown lets you select a conditional operator based on which the fields will be overridden. Select Or if you want at least one condition to be valid. Select And if you want all the conditions to be valid.
• Save changes.
