Hi all,
what is the preferred way to select a billing address (different from the shipping address) in the ordermgr's checkout process? I've noticed that the only way to do this is by selecting a payment method associated to a billing address (for example a CC that is associated to the proper address). But, how can I set a billing address for an offline payment? Should we add a new screen or form to the checkout process for this? And if the user selects a billing address and then a CC associated to a different address, what address should take precedence? Thanks for your help, Jacopo _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/users |
Yes, it is very much by design that "billing" addresses are only associated with payment methods. In OFBiz an off-line payment would not have a billing address, because it means wait until payment is received before approving and fulfilling the order. In other words, there is no invoice to send so we don't need a place to send it to. If you really want a "real" billing address where you would send a bill and such, the thing to do is use a BillingAccount and have the address associated with that... -David Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > Hi all, > > what is the preferred way to select a billing address (different from > the shipping address) in the ordermgr's checkout process? > I've noticed that the only way to do this is by selecting a payment > method associated to a billing address (for example a CC that is > associated to the proper address). > But, how can I set a billing address for an offline payment?
