Saved addresses

What this feature does

Customers can maintain reusable shipping-address records for account convenience without treating them as immutable order history.

This guide describes the behavior implemented by Mallello, the people allowed to use it, and the operational checks that keep it dependable.

Detailed workflow

1. Add an address with recipient, street, locality, postal code, and country.
2. Validate and save it to the authenticated account.
3. Optionally choose a default.
4. Edit or delete addresses that are not needed.
5. At checkout, copy the chosen address into the order's durable fulfillment data.

Rules and permissions

• Users can read and modify only their own address records.
• Deleting a saved address must not alter past orders.
• Address validation supports international formats and avoids over-restrictive assumptions.
• Personal address data receives privacy and retention protection.

Failure handling and edge cases

• A provider-validated checkout address may differ from a saved address and should be reconciled carefully.
• The last remaining address can still be removed if checkout does not require a stored default.
• Support views should reveal only the minimum address detail needed.
