IDEAS? ~ Shipping Address - Must Select Address up from Lookup in DB

[killianbay]

Looking for some ideas how to modify a forced ship-to address in the checkout process.

 

This website is for a firearms store. The store will be selling guns, knives, accessories, ammo, gift certificates, instructional classes, etc. LEGALLY, if purchasing a GUN, however, he can ONLY SHIP to another licensed dealer in the customer's area, and the customer will need to pickup the gun from their local dealer of choice.

 

I have the data file of the firearms dealers address/info, and plan to enter into the database and it will be maintained and updated monthly.

 

My idea I would like to brainstorm if anyone is willing:

• Adding an additional 'checkout step' that would only happen if there were a "firearm" present in the shopping cart at the start of the checkout process.
  

 

Here are the objectives:

• If there is a (tagged) 'firearm' in the cart at checkout, a list of licensed dealers will show, and the customer MUST select a licensed dealer from the list in order to complete the checkout.
  
• If the cart has a combination of products (ex: firearm and ammo), it would be 'split-shipped', with everything going directly to the customer except the firearm.
  

ANY thoughts or ideas to point me in the right direction would be VERY appreciated.

 

 

THANK YOU!!

You would need additional module with some core modifications of your theme for this as I think there are not any module like that.
