    Hi I am checking out your plugin in case it fits what I am looking for.

    I have seen that you can make shopping lists whether it is a main user or sub account users. So far so good. The problem I see and it would be good to have that option, is that when that shopping list is added to the cart is automatically closed, ie not to be deleted from the list but if it is locked and that can not be edited once the order is placed and that indicates next to the list something like "list already purchased" or something similar. 
    Another disadvantage that I see, for example when the parent user sees the list of all the lists that have made the associated sub-accounts and wants to add them to the cart has to do them one by one, and each time you add a list goes directly to the cart. There should be an option to add several lists at once to the cart, or at least that when you add a list to the cart, does not derive it directly to the cart, but that allows you to add one by one, and once you have added all the lists go to the cart and finalize the purchase. 
    Another option that would be interesting, when a sub-account is created and is allowed to place orders, give the option to take the billing and shipping data from the main account, ie there are two options: 1- That the billing data are those of the sub-account and 2- To establish that the billing and shipping address are those of the parent account. 

    Could this be done by your plugin, or as I have seen in the documentation for other functions can you create functions so that they can be implemented? 

    Thank you very much,
    I look forward to your reply.

    Hi Jesus,

    Thank you for getting in touch,


    The problem I see and it would be good to have that option, is that when that shopping list is added to the cart is automatically closed, ie not to be deleted from the list but if it is locked and that can not be edited once the order is placed and that indicates next to the list something like "list already purchased" or something similar. 

    This is quite complex - it is certainly achievable with some custom coding and modifications, but it would require you to work with a developer to modify this per your needs.

    We are happy to assist with information and any technical details needed, but we do not do customizations ourselves (outside of small snippets or changes). We just do not have the capability to handle custom projects, so we are focusing exclusively on the plugins themselves.


    Another disadvantage that I see, for example when the parent user sees the list of all the lists that have made the associated sub-accounts and wants to add them to the cart has to do them one by one, and each time you add a list goes directly to the cart. There should be an option to add several lists at once to the cart, or at least that when you add a list to the cart, does not derive it directly to the cart, but that allows you to add one by one, and once you have added all the lists go to the cart and finalize the purchase. 

    We can provide you with a code snippet to make it so that when you add a list to cart, it does not redirect to cart - but for the rest of that, there's no default option, it would only be achievable through custom code.


    Another option that would be interesting, when a sub-account is created and is allowed to place orders, give the option to take the billing and shipping data from the main account, ie there are two options: 1- That the billing data are those of the sub-account and 2- To establish that the billing and shipping address are those of the parent account. 

    The way this works in the plugin by default is as follows:

    When a sub-account is first created, the subaccount inherits the parent account's billing and shipping addresses. Therefore initially when the subaccount goes to checkout, they will see the parent account addresses.

    The subaccount can change these addresses. If they change them, they will remain changed.


    Kind regards,

    Stefan
