When you check out a purchase with foxycart, it makes the user enter their address.

Is there a way to avoid this if you've already collected their information when they created a member account?

Also, is it possible to save this information in their member account when they purchase something for the first time?

This is something you'd want to ask FoxyCart to see if they can auto-fill it - I'm not aware of any way to pass this info into the foxycart checkout.

Yes - just don't require a login to purchase and an account will be created for them when they purchase.

Hope this helps!

If the user is logged in to your system when they made the purchase, then foxycart will know who they are and will show the info already stored for them.

If the user is logged out of your system when they made the purchase then foxycart has no way of knowing that their info has already been collected so will ask for it.

There's not much info around about it, but foxycart 2.0 should be arriving in the near future. They do mention address fields in their advertising for it:
Quote:
Our new checkout is even faster than previous versions. Customers will appreciate spending less time filling out forms with our new address validation feature.

Cart items can be modified or removed right from the checkout, along with real-time shipping and tax calculations. Coupon codes can now be added at checkout as well as in the cart.

Control what fields should be shown and what fields are required with our new field configuration tool. Require customers to agree to your Terms of Service. Quickly configure what card types you accept and much more.
