Recommended changes to checkout field settings are now available

Eligible stores can now get personalized recommendations for customer information settings from the Checkout settings page in Shopify admin.

These recommendations help you collect more complete customer details at checkout so you can reconnect with past shoppers more effectively and personalize your marketing. New stores already use these recommended settings by default.

Recommendations may include setting customer contact method to email-only, requiring first and last name, or optionally collecting shipping address phone number.

You can review recommendations and apply any changes directly from Checkout settings. Existing store settings won’t change unless you apply the recommendations.
