Don't need Billing Address with PayPal

Hi,

Does anybody know a way to disable the Billing Address and just ask for the Shipping Address?

My website only uses PayPal and doesn't need the customer's Billing Address. PayPal takes care of the Billing Address for me and I don't want to request that information from my customers. Trying to make checkout as simple and fast as possible.

Please note that registration and login are also not required on my website, if that makes a difference. The user looks at the contents in the cart, enters email and Shipping Address, selects the shipping method, and goes to PayPal to pay.

Thanks,

Robin

Hi,

In that case, I would recommend to simply hide the billing address area everywhere.
First, add a CSS code like that on your website:
#hikashop_checkout_address_right_part{ display: none; }

And add an entry with the namekey shipping_address_same_checkbox and the value 0 in the hikashop_config table of the database via phpmyadmin

That will remove the billing address on the checkout and activate the shipping address interface by default on the checkout.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you. I appreciate your creativity in coming up with all these fixes. There were many other questions I had that were answered by your previous responses to other Hikashop users. Very helpful for sure.

Anyway, I got it to work. Now customers can checkout without entering a Billing Address. What I ended up doing was hiding the Shipping Address with CSS like you said, and changing the language of 'Billing Address' to 'Shipping Address'. So the data is actually entered into the database as Billing Address, but because the hidden checkbox is checked for 'Use the same address for Shipping Address', the customer's address is also entered into the Shipping Address field in the database.

Thanks again,

Robin
