Can I remove the billing address step from the wizard?

Hi,

I am making a website to sell downloadable products and I am interested in removing the billing/shipping step from the checkout wizard is it possible from the admin section?

No, it'll require some customization

In version that i use (1.6), i did the following  (not sure it is the ideal solution):

1) File CheckoutBillingAddress.ascx.cs,
method

protected void Page_Load

add first line to the method:

  Response.Redirect("~/checkoutshippingmethod.aspx");

2) File OrderManager.cs
replace line

throw new NopException("Billing address not provided");

with line

paymentInfo.BillingAddress = paymentInfo.ShippingAddress;

Hi just follow these steps..


   Go to your Solution Explorer:

1.Libraries-->Nop.BusinessLogic -->Orders -->OrderManager.cs


And let me know is your site published online?
If it is!
  Then you have to upload the  file(Nop.BusinessLogic.dll) to Bin-->Nop.BusinessLogic.dll  after you compiled your local copy

I managed to do the same in version 1.9. The only thing to notice is that OrderManager.cs has been renamed to OrderService.cs.
I hope this can be more configurable at some time. Currently the customer account has three types of addresses.
