Default Address Lock
Prevent Shopify from overwriting your customers' default addresses when they ship orders to different locations.
The Problem
Since 2015, Shopify has automatically changed customers' default addresses whenever they place an order with a different shipping address. This causes major headaches for merchants.
Gift Stores
Customers who send gifts to friends and family find their default address constantly changing to gift recipients' addresses.
B2B Merchants
Business buyers who ship to their clients end up with incorrect default addresses, disrupting future orders.
CRM-Integrated Shops
Stores relying on accurate customer data for marketing or fulfillment face data integrity issues.
Subscription Businesses
One-time gift shipments can override the subscription delivery address, causing recurring shipments to go to the wrong place.

What We Do
- We don't change order addresses
- We protect your default address
How It Works
Our app intelligently monitors address changes and automatically restores the original default address when Shopify tries to overwrite it.
Smart Detection
Distinguishes between order-triggered changes and intentional manual updates. Manual changes by customers or staff are preserved.
Automatic Restoration
When an order overwrites a default address, the app restores the original in real time, as the order is placed.
Activity Dashboard
See every protection event in one dashboard, with a full history of the addresses the app restored.
Privacy-First
We only store address IDs, never actual address content. Your customer data stays secure in Shopify.
