With Klarna Checkout you have an embedded checkout solution that handles both payment methods and customer address fields. In some cases you might need to collect more information than the regular customer address data.
The Klarna Checkout for WooCommerce plugin retrieve and populate following address data in WC()->customer
right before the checkout form is submitted and the order is created in WooCommerce:
- Billing First name
- Billing Last name
- Billing Postcode
- Billing City
- Billing State (if needed)
- Billing Country
- Phone
- Email address
- Shipping First name
- Shipping Last name
- Shipping Postcode
- Shipping City
- Shipping State (if needed)
- Shipping Country
