The majority of customers are now using Mobile Phones and without the Shipping Address Fields visible they often are confused and get it wrong leading to great frustration when their payment fails with the wrong address being verified and an unnecessarily increased amount of abandoned carts.

An option to reverse the way the way it works from "I want this shipped to a different address" to "I want this shipped to my Billing Address" with the shipping fields visible at the beginning would be a massive benefit.

Many thanks,

Hi John,

I believe you can already do this. It's a parameter you need to add to your includes.asp/php file. See https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/ecommplus/parameters.asp#shiphide

Hi Kelly,

There is no such parameter as shiphide and I am very familiar with xxShpDff

This is about an option to change the logic.

John

Here is the code required to implement:

In the includes file add the parameter:
[code]$showshipaddress=TRUE;[/code]
In the inccart.php file search for the line (near 5089) beginning with:
[code]
<input type="button" class="ectbutton widecheckout2 shipdiff" value="<?php print $GLOBALS['xxShpDff']?
[/code]
Add this above the line:
[code]<?php if ($showshipaddress==TRUE) {$GLOBALS['xxShpDff']='Deliver to Billing Address';}?>[/code]
Add this below the line:
[code]<?php if ($showshipaddress==TRUE){ ?><script>document.getElementById('shipdiff').value=1;</script><?php } ?>[/code]
This will open the ship address fields and provide the appropriate message on the button. Simply change to FALSE or remove the parameter from the includes file to revert back.

Hopefully Vince will pick this up and add to this to the code.

John
