Adapting the form.

WHAT IS ESSENTIAL

Name Phone number Delivery address A way to contact them

THE PHONE NUMBER

More important than email here.

Couriers call. Order updates by SMS or WhatsApp are read.

Make it required and validate the format loosely.

THE ADDRESS FIELD

Standard address forms assume structured addresses with postcodes.

Nigerian addresses frequently do not fit.

Allow a free-text field with enough space for landmarks and directions.

ADD A LANDMARK FIELD

"Nearest landmark" genuinely helps delivery here.

POSTCODE

Make it optional. Requiring it blocks legitimate orders.

STATE AND CITY

A dropdown of states is helpful. City as free text.

WHAT TO REMOVE

Fields designed for other countries Anything you will not use

WHAT TO TEST

Entering a real Nigerian address and confirming it is accepted.
