If you want the id of the shipping / billing address, they are in billing_address_id and shipping_address_id, but you also have them in order_shipping_address_id and order_billing_address_id.

We use csv file to import in accounting app. Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQ0LW1hc3MtYWN0aW9ucy85MDU0MTQtYmlsbGluZy1hbmQtc2hpcHBpbmctYWRkcmVzcy1pZD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86289 - Thank you received: 14265 - - 3 years 11 months ago [\#346910](#346910) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Billing and shipping address id](/forum/44-mass-actions/905414-billing-and-shipping-address-id#346910 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.4.5 We use massaction csv export for orders.

When the user check the checkbox "use the billing address as shipping address", the system will create a copy of the billing address with the type "shipping". So you should actually never have a billing address and a shipping address with the same id. In short, you can't base yourself on the id to know if they are the same or not. You'll have to compare each field of both address to see if they are the same or not.

So we must compare every customer adress by ALL data to verify if it is diferent or the same? And if there is returning customer, the problem is multiplying.

But even then, it would be possible the customer just create a new address with the same values. If you really whant to check if an address is the same than another, I don't see another way than checking each field individually.

If using registration at checkout, is logic the same? So returning users/customers have endless "diferent" addresses?

If you come back later on, and login and proceed to a payment without changing your billing/shipping addresses, they will have the same ids too. However, if you modify an address, then the system will automatically unpublish the original address (so that it can still be attached to the old order you made in the past), and the modified address will have a new id. If you do a guest checkout, then even if you use a the same addresses each time (you will have to re-enter them each time), the addresses will have different ids each time.
