Magento – Separate billing/shipping addresses in magento

magento-1.7PHP

One of customers contacted him to point out that he is not able to specify different billing and shipping addresses for his account. When he changes one address, the other automatically changes as well.

I logged into the Magento admin console to try and separate the addresses myself, but I didn’t find a way.

Any Idea!!!!

I couldn’t fix the problem so I ended up just displaying a message to users. It only shows the message when they have one address in their address book.

To implement this fix using the default Magento theme, insert the code below in app/design/frontend/your-interface/your-theme/template/customer/address/edit.phtml

<?php if($this->isDefaultBilling() && $this->isDefaultShipping()): ?>
<ul>
    <li class="error-msg">Editing this address will update both your billing and shipping address. If you want to add an entirely new billing or shipping address click <a href="<?php echo $this->getBaseUrl();?>customer/address/new/" title="Create New Billing or Shipping Address">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

it's working..

Magento – PayPay Billing address and Shipping address

Hope following code will help for you:

Find app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Standard.php file and go to line number 134 (According to Magento CE 1.8)

Replace following code 

$address = $isOrderVirtual ? $order->getBillingAddress() : $order->getShippingAddress();
if ($isOrderVirtual) {
    $api->setNoShipping(true);
} elseif ($address->validate()) {
    $api->setAddress($address);
}

with 

$address =$order->getBillingAddress();
if ($address->validate()) {
    $api->setAddress($address);
}

Magento Multisite Domain Switching – Automatically Switch Customers to Different Website

First you need to find a way to identify "preferred" website of the customer. The one you need to redirect to.
You can do that by adding a dropdown customer attribute that has options the websites, or use the customer attribute website_id.
Let's use the website_id attribute for now.

You need an observer on the event controller_action_predispatch for frontend. This is dispatched for every page.
Your observer method should look something like this:

public function redirectToPrefferedStore($observer){
    $customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
    if (!$customer->getId()) { //if the customer is not logged in, do nothing
        return $this;
    }
    $wesbiteId = $customer->getWebsiteId(); 
    //if the customer is associated to the admin website he should not even be able to login
    //but let's be paranoid and do stop it here in case he was able to login by some magic.
    if ($websiteId == 0) {
        return $this;
    }
    //get the website object
    $website = Mage::getModel('core/website')->load($websiteId);
    //if the website does not exist anymore do nothing
    if (!$website->getId()){ 
        return $this;
    }
    //get the website default store view
    $store = $website->getDefaultStore();
    //redirect to store view
    //you can replace the first parameter of the getUrl with a specific page. `customer/account` for example 
    $url = Mage::getUrl('', array('_store'=>$store->getId()));
    //set the redirect
    Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);
    return $this;
}

Now all you need to do is to allow the customers to keep the session between sites.
You can do that from System->Configuration->Web->Session Validation Settings. Set the field Use SID on Frontend to Yes.
Save and clear the cache just in case.
