Shipping TO Multiple Addresses.

[milano9]

It seems there is substantial interest in this feature - and no wonder!

I am also interested, but am not best candidate to develop it. I am certainly willing to contribute for this functionality.

What are the next steps to pull this off? I like the rough sketch JK outlined in an earlier post:

Hi All,

I would like to see if those of us who are interested in this module could get together to develop a solution. Here is what I would propose:

1.) A list box in every product listing that says something to the effect of: "Ship to me," and "Ship to (x)." The "Ship to (x)." could potentially tie into the existing multiple address feature/architecture.

2.) Each Ship to Address should incur a shipping fee based on the current variables (table rate, location, etc), or not (free). This should be reviewable and itemized from the checkout pages.

Let's use this forum to sketch out any other features. I want to keep this as simple as possible in the beginning. I am reviewing other sites to see if there are any commonalities in workflow. I am not an expert in PHP but know enough to work this out. I am a DBA by trade.

Thanks
JK

I would love to have this functionality in my carts. If you get something working please let me know what the cost is and how to get it.

Thanks

Hi,

I am also interesting in trying to get this moving. I actually paid a foreign programmer about $200 to deliver a solution to me.

Although, the solution works, it wasn't really what I was looking for. The programmer used attributes to allow an address to be entered for each item.

I own a florist and this solution is not as smooth as my current site (FTD provided) nor any other florist. This site has what I'm aiming for: http://www.flowerdeliveryexpress.net/

This is my site I'm working on:

You can get an idea of what the attributes solution looks like.

Oh wow, your site looks lovely, adding an attribute to add another address is a great idea!



But...


I too would like to have one shipping address per product instead of per order. I'm also willing to pay for it! If someone has the knowledge to make this, please speak up! Maybe we can all split the costs!

Thanks. It's an ongoing work in process it seems like.
Maybe someone will chime in with an offer on this. I can't imagine it would take that much to do this. If I had enough time to focus on it, I could probably do it.

I did see someone hire a freelancer for this:
http://www.getafreelancer.com/projec...-Zen-Cart.html

But I haven't seen the result

[english_1969]

While this one isn't me, I used GAF to have this done and wasn't happy with the results. While the person did make it work, he used attributes to handle multiple addresses and, in general, the code wasn't that clean.

I decided to take this approach also in lieu of rewriting the shipping/order module(s).

I also added the ability to save addresses added this way and recall them on the address page.

Can you provide your mod, considering it at least does the job and in case the new one being developed is not better or costly?

I too am looking for multiple shipping addresses to be included. I only installed zen cart recently and was quite shocked to find this absent. Someone told me that I should have gone for Magento instead (which apparently has this capability) but I like zen cart for other reasons, so I too would be willing to contribute to the cost.

Anything? Anyone? I can't imagine someone not willing to make some money on this. Unless the code is that difficult, which I cannot imagine.
