Good day,

I hope one of you can help me with to things. During checkout you can select to ship to an other adress by unchecking the checkbox.
How can I make this unchecked by default and also hidden? I want to use these fields for a different purpose.

Second thing is the max. amount of characters in the special message box. Is there a way I can set it to max 200 characters?
It would be great if the customer can see the amount of characters left.

Thanks for all help!
