multiple instances of ShopSite??

[aamanager]

I have a situation where I want to have orders that I ship and must be paid for via credit card and also orders that are in-store pickup without having to pay via credit card in advance, i.e. COD. For the credit card orders, I want to force all of the user information (email, name address, etc) but I do not want to force this for the COD orders. How do I best accomplish this?? I'm pulling my hair out. I guess I could duplicate the store and have 2 instances that are configured differently, but ..........

You would have to collect the information for both Credit Cards and COD. There is no way to place an order in ShopSite without having that information.

I set up a shipping option called "Office Pickup" and I want to ensure that COD can ONLY be used with that option - not with an order to be shipped. Is there a way to this??

There is no built in way to tie a shipping method and a payment method together, so that if one is chosen the other is chosen or other methods are excluded. You might be able to do something with Javascript to check the shipping method and the payment method and not allow the shopper to proceed to the checkout screen. I'm not fluent in javascript so couldn't tell you how to do it but maybe someone else on the forum would have an idea. I know there has been code posted to check shipping options and a country and only allow certain methods. You might do a search on the forum for javascript and shipping and see if you can find something helpful.
