Hi,

I would like to disable billing address and leave delivery address only on my checkout as well as remove it from all the email templates &amp; order information pages, could you help me with that?

Is there inbuilt functionality for that or do I have to edit the views?

Thanks,
Kashka

Hi,

There is no built-in function for that.
You'll have to edit all the views and emails where the billing address area is displayed in order to remove/hide it.

Hi,

This is probably the server security module which is refusing the request to modify the email because of all the HTML/PHP code in it.
You'll have to directly edit the email files in the folder media/com_hikashop/mail or see with your hosting company if the security system can be configured to not refuse the request.

Hi,

I think that the easiest way is to set the div with the id "hikashop_checkout_address_right_part" to "display:none;".
and make a translation override on the key "HIKASHOP_BILLING_ADDRESS" to display shipping address instead of billing.

This way you will not broke the save of the addresses, etc.

Hi,

For the translation:
[ hikashop.com/support/faq.html#tran](http://hikashop.com/support/faq.html#tran)

For the customisation:
[ hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...ize-the-display.html](https://hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html)

Adding the display none force the view to go from two columns to only one, so there is some CSS properties which could be required.
