Restricting Shipping and Billing address to be the same

[jenjen]

Hi,

I have a client that would like their shopping cart to require the shipping and billing address to be the same. How can I do that?

Thanks!

You have 2 options. The first is to keep the standard checkout, but adjust the payment page, so that the customer can't change any fields. This can be done buy editting the tpl_checkout_payment page, so that instead of the text fields, it jsut shows the address. The downside to this is that you would need to play with a lot of code, and remove certain pages etc.

An alternative is to install the single page checkout contribution, and tehn just edit this one page, so that no payment addresses are taken.

ENSURE that however you do it, you always include code before the final checkout which sets the payment address to the same as the shipping address, which is stored in a session variable. Otherwise, you will get repeating credit card validation errors.

Hi,

Any idea where the single page checkout download is please? I've searched the download section and can't find it (grrr!).

Many thanks

Actually the easiest way to do this is in Admin - Maximum Values - Address Book Entries (set this to 1 address allowed per customer).

cjsmiff's solution doesn't quite work for me...it leaves the user unable to edit their billing address, thereby preventing them from completing the sale.

I can manually hide the change address button on the shipping page, but that just means that the customer won't be able to change the shipping address when it is entered the first time. What I would like to do is have them be able to change their billing address with the "change your address" button and have that change the shipping address at the same time?

Anyone have any ideas?
