How can I capture two addresses per item solf

Recommended Posts

I am trying to provide a service that would ship one product to two locations, first to the one location, and then to the other. 

Example: An embassy has my customer's passport. The embassy requests that we send them a prepaid envelope so that they can return my client's passport to them. I need to prepare two envelopes. Envelope1 has a label addressed from me to the embassy and contains Envelope2  which is addressed from the embassy to my client. In order to prepare these envelopes and labels, I need the address of the embassy (address1) as well as the address of the customer (address2)

The point that I am trying to make here is that I require each sold item to capture two addresses (the address of the embassy and the address of the customer). I have two questions about this situation:

1 - What is the best way to capture the addresses? I am considering both Custom Checkout Forms and Form Blocks. The Custom Checkout Form seems neater because it has built in functionality for an address, BUT - based on this I believe that the Form Blocks capture the data in a way that would allow Shipstation to pull the data, which would be extremely useful for processing the order.

2 - Is there a better way to achieve this? PirateShip might have better integrations, but it requires Squarespace's Advanced Commerce plan, which I have no use for.

I would appreciate any thoughts or insights about this. If possible I would like to avoid code, but I am open to that approach if necessary.


@paul2009 you seem to be the expert in this super-niche topic. I would really appreciate your help if you're still active on this forum.

You can capture the customer's delivery information via the checkout (as normal) and capture additional information with a custom form. However, your shipping and workflow processes will need to be managed manually, off-platform.
