Shopify Multiple Shipping Addresses

Question

Does anyone know if there's a way to integrate multiple shipping addresses into a Shopify website? Currently they only support one address per order. The website I'm currently working on is a gift shop so needs to allow customer the option to ship each item to a different address.

So far the only workaround I've come up with is to add shipping address fields as line item properties on the product page and disable/hide shipping fields in the checkout area. However, the concern then becomes sales tax. For this website any items shipped Washington State are subject to tax. So, I either need find a way to integrate multiple shipping addresses into the checkout or figure out how to add some sort of javascript/jQuery to calculate Washington State taxes on the product page and have it included in the product price when added to cart.

Any ideas about how to make this work would be appreciated, whether it's multiple shipping addresses or a product page tax calculation.

Answer 1

This is a few years late for the OP, but for anyone interested, my team has developed an app for Shopify that allows for shipping to multiple addresses, which you can find here:

Hope this helps anyone who comes across this thread!

This may cause more confusion than it is worth (especially when you get to the delivery address section of the checkout pages), but you could capture this information on each individual product page using the Shopify Line Items property.
