Thread: Shared Address Records

We're using MLv9.0.1.3 32-bit w/ source

Is there a way to set it up so that many customers can share one address record?
For example:
Several Workers are placing orders for their company and having the products shipped to the company address. We are looking for a way to have to only edit one address if there are any changes.

Thanks,

Shaun

forgot to mention they need the ability to be tied to multiple company addresses...

Shaun -- storefront does not allow for the sharing of addresses out of the box. In fact storefront checks for this specific case in code and will not allow it.

However, we're currently working on a project where this is a requirement. We're changing source code to allow for sharing of addresses and so far it has required a ripple of minor code changes throughout the address logic.

What we ended up doing was Cloning the address to every customer which required some coding to update the cloned addresses when the parent address was updated and disallowing the customer to edit a cloned address.
This seems to be working fine for us now.
