Add ability to save address after checkout

[rynpsc]

With the address updates in Craft 4 addresses are no longer saved during checkout. It would be nice if during checkout when a logged in user is adding a new shipping or billing address they could chose to save that address for future use in the same way you can save a payment source during checkout via savePaymentSource, e.g. saveShippingAddress and saveBillingAddress.

Hi @rynpsc

Thank you for the suggestion. This is something we will take into consideration.

In the meantime, you could add something similar to the following code to a custom module to get your desired behaviour.

In the example below I have made the assumption that you would create a custom field on the order that will be storing whether the customer would like to save their addresses at the end of the checkout process.

Event::on(Order::class, Order::EVENT_AFTER_COMPLETE_ORDER, static function(Event $event) {
    /** @var Order $order */
    $order = $event->sender;

    // Custom logic here to determine if to save the addresses or not
    if ($order->mySaveAddressesCustomField) {
        if ($billingAddress = $order->getBillingAddress()) {
            Craft::$app->getElements()->duplicateElement($billingAddress, ['ownerId' => $order->getCustomerId()]);
        }

        if ($shippingAddress = $order->getShippingAddress()) {
            Craft::$app->getElements()->duplicateElement($shippingAddress, ['ownerId' => $order->getCustomerId()]);
        }
    }
});

Hope this helps, thanks!

This was almost exactly what I needed, except I can't seem to access my custom order field. I am a little unsure if I'm sending it correctly through my frontend.

I added a lightswitch field saveShippingAddress to my order model, then in my frontend have this in a form

{{ input('checkbox', 'fields[saveShippingAddress]', 1, {
  id: 'saveShippingAddress',
}) }}

and check it in the event like this:

    Event::on(Order::class, Order::EVENT_AFTER_COMPLETE_ORDER, static function(Event $event) {
            /** @var Order $order */
            $order = $event->sender;
            
            if ($order->saveShippingAddress) {
                if ($shippingAddress = $order->getShippingAddress()) {
                    Craft::$app->getElements()->duplicateElement($shippingAddress, ['ownerId' => $order->getCustomerId()]);
                }
            }
        });

Thanks for any insight :)

Hi @tmjoen

After you save the saveShippingAddress value during the checkout have you checked on the control panel that the light switch is set to "on"?

Thanks

Just to add to this, the sample templates are quite confusing, as they include fields like Make this my default shipping address but without adding this little bit of code the address doesn't save.

OMG this. What is the point of these options if they literally do nothing?

[pixelmachine]

I think this is now fixed in 4.3 @MattWilcox

https://craftcms.com/docs/commerce/4.x/addresses.html#save-addresses-when-completing-an-order

I guess you need to save the address and send makePrimaryBillingAddress at the same time? Docs aren't clear.

Correct @nfourtythree ?

Looks like example templates weren't updated.

We use this feature to save an address for future use pretty heavily in our 3.x Commerce installation. It would be nice if this feature came back.

This is possible with the saveBillingAddressOnOrderComplete and saveShippingAddressOnOrderComplete cart update params.

There is also an example of this in the options page of the checkout flow in the example templates.
