Hello,

I have installed HikaShop free version. According to the client's demand, while checkout; the customer must enter one extra shipping addresses. But as per Hika Shop's support team's reply, it is not possible to accept two different shipping addresses.

The reason to accept one extra shipping address is the owner wants to ship a complementary product to its client's friend's address as a part of promotion.

So if its not possible in Hika Shop, are there any other ecommerce extensions which allow the same? or any other ethical trick or tweak in hika shop system?

This is so important. The positive response would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

I don't know of any shopping cart system for Joomla which can handle that.
The issue is that it means that you then need to support multiple shipping methods selection, one per address, and that you need a way for the user to select which products goes to which address.
It's not impossible to add to HikaShop but quite complex and would be a big undertaking for a developer to do that for you.
Do you actually need one shipping method selection per shipping address ?
If not, then simply creating custom fields of the table "order" will allow you to have a second shipping address form during the checkout. I think that it would be the best for you.

Hi,

As Nicolas said, the more indicated way to have a second shipping address is to create custom fields in the "order" table.
To add custom fields, you have to create them through the menu Display > Custom fields, once created the fields in the "order" table, go to Configuration > Checkout, and in the checkout workflow add the "field" step.

This will display the second shipping address fields in the checkout.

ps: Order custom fields are available only in the business edition of HikaShop.
