my view


def order_create(request):
    cart = Cart(request)
    user = request.user
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        if request.method == 'POST':
            form = OrderCreateForm(request.POST)
            if form.is_valid():
                order = form.save(commit=False)
                if cart.coupon:
                    order.coupon = cart.coupon
                    order.discount = cart.coupon.discount
                order.save()
                for item in cart:
                    OrderItem.objects.create(order=order,
                                            product=item['product'],
                                            price=item['price'],
                                            quantity=item['quantity'])
                cart.clear()
                order_created.delay(order.id)
                request.session['order_id'] = order.id
                return redirect(reverse('payment:process'))
        else:
            form = OrderCreateForm()
    else: 
        return redirect('login')
    return render(request,
                  'orders/order/create.html',
                  {'cart': cart, 'form': form})

Pass your "pre-fill" data using the initial argument when creating your form instance

form = OrderCreateForm(initial={
    'first_name': user.first_name,
    'email': user.email,
})
