Delivery and billing addresses

Set a delivery estimate, offer address suggestions and let shoppers use a different billing address.

Where to go WooCommerce → Trim Checkout → Delivery / Fields

Set a delivery estimate

  1. Enable Estimated delivery
    In Delivery, enable Show an estimate under each shipping method.
  2. Set the business-day range
    Enter your minimum and maximum Business days. Keep {date_range} in the message to display the calculated date range.
  3. Add holidays and product overrides
    Enter non-working dates under Holidays / non-working days, one YYYY-MM-DD date per line. Product and variation overrides are under Product data → Shipping.
  4. Save and check the result
    Select Save all settings. Check a real shipping method, a weekend and any holiday you entered. Enable the confirmation-page option if you also want the estimate shown after checkout.

ExampleA store dispatching in 3–7 business days can enter 3 and 7, keep Estimated delivery: {date_range}, and add closure dates. Each package uses its slowest product’s range.

An estimate is not a carrier promiseDelivery dates come from your configured business-day rules. They do not track a shipment or guarantee arrival.

Address entry options

Country detection
Preselects a country only when WooCommerce does not already have one. Cloudflare/WooCommerce geolocation is used first.
Third-party IP lookup
The optional ipwho.is fallback is off by default. Enabling it sends the shopper’s IP to that service.
Address suggestions
Enable suggestions for Address line 1 and choose Photon or Google Places. Entered address text goes to the selected provider; manual entry remains available.
Google Places
Requires a suitable browser-restricted key, Places API (New), Maps JavaScript API and your provider setup.

Allow a separate billing address

In Fields, enable Separate billing address → Allow shoppers to use a different billing address. Save, then test both “Same as shipping” and “Use a different billing address” with your gateway. Delivery fields stay available for shipping rates.
