Hi,

Yes indeed, when adding an address in the billing or in the shipping address part it adds the address to the other address type.
This is the way the system is working. To change this behavior it will require custom code, or you can potentially play with the address display settings and some css rules.

Thanks Xavier

I get to dig into the code.

I've just run up against this one. I want my customers to be able to add alternative delivery addresses but they shouldn't be offered that as an alternative billing address. I don't think I've ever come across a shopping cart that offers alternative billing addresses, it's a security issue surely?

The way I expected it to work ...

• The billing address is the address the customer registered with and it should only be possible to change this by changing your registration.
• Optional delivery addresses can be added and selected at checkout.

Will this code be in the next update of Hikashop?

Hi Nicolas,

It's generally considered a security risk if billing and delivery addresses are different, if someone got hold of your credit card details they could use your card and address but have goods delivered to themselves at another address. However there are circumstances where having a different delivery address is necessary, we have customers who order from their business, at one address, but request goods be delivered to a studio they are using.

Also the billing address has to be the same as your bank account address when paying by card, otherwise the bank security checks will fail, so it shouldn't be possible to randomly change the billing address.

If a customer moves address then they edit their account details and change their registered address.

I'll try the code you suggest, if that limits the billing address to just the registered address it will do what I need.

Thanks,

Ian

I have tryed this and it do not work.
Where is the code wrong?
It is in the file checkout / address_select.php

if($address_selector == 1) {
if(!empty($this->addresses)) {
if($this->type=='billing') $this->addresses = array(reset($this->addresses)); /*Added 2015 jun 24 */
foreach($this->addresses as $address) {
$checked = '';
if($address->address_id == $current)
$checked = ' checked="checked"';
if($config->get('auto_submit_methods', 1) && empty($checked))
$checked = ' onclick="this.form.submit();return false;"';

That code change didn't work for me either, using the list setting.

The nearest I can get to how I'd like it to work is by using the drop down list address selection and hiding the drop down for the billing address (using display:none) so the billing address can't be changed. It also means I don't get a "New" button under the billing address which would be confusing.

The only slight issue I have is that when I add a new address on the delivery side using the drop down I can save it, but it isn't selected, I have to go back into the drop down to select the address I've just entered. I can see customers thinking the address they've entered has just disappeared.

I am using the "List" setting, unforturnally is not doing the work.
