I have configured the custom product plugin to integrate an old booking system with Hikashop. I am successfully passing the amount and invoice number to custom fields using "product_id=1&data[item][amount]=....&data[item][invoice]=...." but am struggling to get the name and address to pass to the standard Hikashop name and address fields.

I am using "data[address][address_firstname]=" in the url but with no success. Is this expression correct for standard address fields?

Hi,

When you add a product in the cart, you can set the values for the product (also called item) ; so set a value for his custom fields.
But the address is a totally different thing. You can't change the address of the user like that.
If the user does not have an account, if you are using "guest checkout" for example ; it is possible to use the session to store an address which will be pre-filled during the checkout.

$addr = new stdClass();
$addr->address_firstname = '';
$_SESSION['hikashop_address_data'] = $addr;
