Add 'Same as billing address' button for convenience
June 08, 2014, 06:11:21 pm
I'm setting up an event registration with an option to pay via a credit card. After entering their address to register for an event, users are asked for a 'Billing Name and Address' as a part of the credit card/payment process. I would like to give them the option to use the address that they previously entered as their billing address. While researching a way to do this, I found a document describing how to do it for CiviCRM version 3.3 (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/Add+%27Same+as+billing+address%27+button+for+convenience), but it doesn't work with CiviCRM version 4.4.5, which is what's being used on the event site. What do I need to do to implement a 'same as previously used address' option for an event registration / payment process? Thank you for any help you can provide...fred

I think you'll find that if you move your profile with the address to the bottom you will get a 'use billing address' checkbox above it.

Thank you for the quick response. Looking at it closer, I realized that the request for the 'Billing Name and Address' actually comes first. It appears above the second request for an address, once a fee option is selected. The second request for an address is for the 'Shared Address' which is where I would like to have the option to 'Use the Billing Address'.

yep, but I think core will only really give you the checkbox if the billing box is second (ie. filling from billing but not too billing) - I think it's different in 4.5
