Exp:resso Store - Prevent updating mapped member fields from checkout

Question

Is it possible to prevent Store from updating mapped fields during checkout unless an option to update is selected? Specifically billing and shipping addresses?

I'm using exp:user to allow a user to save a default billing and shipping address in their account. These are mapped to Store's order fields and everything works hunky-dory, except default behavior for Store is to update these details if they're changed during checkout (as detailed as a "remember my details" feature here: https://exp-resso.com/docs/store/settings_order_fields.html).

I would only like to update the mapped fields if an option in the checkout is checked. Something along the lines of an "update my default billing/shipping address" option.

Many thanks for any help.

There is nothing built into Store that would allow you to selectively choose when to update the mapped member fields based upon a conditional or checkbox functionality. You could create a little extension to enable that kind of functionality (available extension hooks).

Alternatively and I have not tested something like this with Store you could use Profile:Edit which allows users to create multiple address profiles. Then in your templates you would have to manually create the store checkout fields so that you had

<input type="text" name="billing_address1" value="{profile_edit_field_for_billing_address1}" />

If you were going to use this approach you would probably not want to have the member fields mapped.
