[Addon] AjaxCheckoutAddress

[fur]

This a light-weight add-on for changing shipping/billing address directly in Checkout Confirm page.

 

If you use checkout payment modules like PayPal Express checkout, which obtain address from PayPal website, or using one page checkout, they would skip Checkout Shipping page and bring customers into Checkout Confirm page direct. Customers who want to change default address have to jump backward to Checkout Shipping page and forward causing bad user experience. In this case Ajax can greatly help and allow customers staying in same page with less clicks. A alert would appear if customers didn't confirm the address before confirming the order.

 

Note: It would only change the address of the orders, not the address in customers' address books.

Hi,

 

You wrote it does not update the address book.

Do you mean people need to update the address every time they checkout?

If so, returning cutomers would be annoyed, I'd say?

Is it difficult to integrate this?

 

Kind regards, Michiel

Hi michiel,

 

I created this mainly for PayPal, which delivery address is feeded from PayPal, so customer who may want different address from his PayPal, but not necessary go all the way to PayPal adding the address.

 

It only requires to update 2 files and few new files, should be done in minutes.

 

I also made a customization where customers can change the address book too, but that needs more files modification and I doubted people want this function.

I like the idea of this, but is there no switch to set in the Paypal express module to just use the address the customer already entered in your merchant page as the shipping address?

 

It absolutely sucks that Paypal express defaults to the Paypal address. We ship with Stamps.com and suddenly since using Paypal express we have a mess of pissed off customers.

By using Paypal express, customers are not required to login and putting address in checkout page.

 

So this addon come to handy for non-registered customer to quickly change the delivery address without changing address in Paypal first.

 

But yea, for registered customer it can be good idea for customer to choose which address they wanna use. That can be easily done depend on if anyone want it.
