Commerce 4 Address Logic

Question

we are trying to implement the brand new Commerce 4. We're about to release our Client's site and decided to Go ahead and migrate to Craft 4 before going live...

The upgrade went pretty smooth except the fact we realized addresses are handled quite differently !!! (to say the less)...

We're having problem at checkout. All the rest is fine, we can go up to the payment and everything, but I can not manage to get any address attach to the customer. I can see the shipping address and billing address in the order, but not on the customer page :

However, if I put manually an address, I can surely select/edit it on the cart.

Also, I figured changing the OwnerID in the database is what I need to do, because if I change it manually it's all fine.

I looked and the shop/examples but don't find the magic behind this. Is anyone able to point me out what's missing ? Your help always appreciated !

Answer 1

Did you already run this command when upgrading to commerce 4?

php craft commerce/upgrade

If I am not wrong this command will do migrate the address also.

Yes, the craft address is an element now, so we can have separate address in customer and address. In our practice for now, to get the customer address recorded and use it on cart we do like this.

In checkout part for front end instead update the address directly to update-cart end point we do update the address to customer, here is some info for this customer address endpoint:

-- action : users/save-address Field can be use(by default) :

firstName, lastName, addressLine1, countryCode, administrativeArea, postalCode etc.

You can update the field on cms -> user settings -> address field.

So after the address is saved on user, we only pass the addressId to billingAddressId or shippingAddressId to commerce/update-cart

Another alternative is we can listen on some Order event for example like after complete order, then we duplicate the address to customer, something like this:

Event::on(
            Order::class,
            Order::EVENT_AFTER_COMPLETE_ORDER,
            static function (Event $event) {
                /** @var Order $order */
                $order = $event->sender;
                Craft::$app->getElements()->duplicateElement($order->billingAddress, ['ownerId' => $order->customer->id]);
            }
        );
