I sell firearms.  when firearms are added to the cart i need my "Ship To" to be required.  In the US you CANNOT purchase a firearm and have it delivered to your home.  It can ONLY be delivered to an Authorized and Licensed Federal Firearms dealer.

So, when a firearm is added to the cart i need a rule that stipulates that the "Ship To" is required.

If anyone can assist me in this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Easiest would be some javascript that requires the ST fields to be filled

[gsstephens]

good idea. the script would be product based, correct?

you don't say if an ST address is required on every order...

normally you would trigger it by the submit - if ST field(s) not filled then show an error and not submit

[gsstephens]

Not every checkout will need "ST".

If a firearm is a added to the cart then the "ST" takes on a different role/meaning.  In order for a purchaser to receive their firearm then it must be shipped to an "FFL" Federal Firearms Licensed dealer.

So, the "ST" is the FFL's contact info and address.

then you will need a if statement  - if cart contains prod from (cat array of firearms)  then echo this JS validation

Hello
May be you can add a custom field that requires to enter a ST address for that product.
If someone buys a knife and a firearm, you can deliver the knife to the ST, and the firearm to the specific address given in the custom field.
