Billing Address Added
Fire the billing_address_added event when a visitor adds or confirms billing information during checkout. This is a checkout-step signal that identifies users who have committed billing details but not yet completed payment.
Fire the event once when the billing address is confirmed. The user object should contain the billing address fields (country, region, city, street, postal_code) as entered by the visitor.
This event is the DATA Reshape equivalent of the standard billing-info event in every major advertising and analytics platform — push it once and Reshape fans it out to every connected destination with the correct platform-specific name and field mapping, so you do not need to fire gtag, fbq, ttq or other tracking function calls in parallel.
- Google Analytics 4 — custom event (no standard GA4 event for billing-address-added; mapped as custom).
- Meta, TikTok — no dedicated standard event; Reshape can send a custom CamelCase event when connected.
- Other connected destinations — mapped automatically based on each destination's native schema.
A single Reshape event can produce one or more native events per destination, with different characteristics depending on each website's destination configuration (active pixels, server endpoints, event-mapping rules).

Custom properties (event.properties, user.properties, products[*].properties) are fully processed server-side. On browser-side pixels and tags, only a subset may be available. Server-side processing can also enrich the outgoing payload with additional parameters derived from context and data quality.
Best Practices
- Fire once per confirmed address — not on every keystroke. Wait until the user submits the billing form.
- Always include the
userobject with billing-address fields filled in — this is what makes the event valuable for Advanced Matching, Enhanced Conversions and equivalent flows in other connected destinations. - Use plaintext email/phone — DATA Reshape normalizes and hashes automatically before forwarding to destinations.
- Keep cart consistency —
products[]must reflect the current cart at this checkout step.
