[Feature Request] Setting Parcel Station as Default Shipping Address #5

Open emmathepossum opened 4 years ago

Currently you can only select a parcel station in the checkout via the shopfinder modal. It would be very useful to be able to save the parcel station as a shipping address in the customer address book and be able to set it as the default shipping address.

Hey @dwirt,

thank you for your suggestion. The separation is currently on purpose and technically required. DHL wants to strictly avoid customers using a parcel station as billing address and saving it as a default Magento customer address would kind of enable that scenario. In the same line of thought, parcel stations and the like are currently saved using a custom data model.

However, what I could think of is marking a parcel station as a favourite (in combination with an existing customer address) and activating the parcel station service and preselecting the favourite parcel station by default if that address is selected in checkout. What do you think?

That seems like a good solution!

We'll pitch it to DHL and see what comes around.
