One-page checkout and sending to multiple destinations

Hi guys

Can you help me out on how the one-page checkout is meant to work with the option to send to multiple destinations?

On the one-page checkout, the 'send to multiple destinations' option is there on the RHS. If a customer clicks on that option they are taken to Checkout/ShipAddresses.aspx, which looks to be part of the alternative (non one-page) checkout process.

This is similar to what happens if a customer selects Gift Options from the one-page checkout (they are then taken to Checkout/GiftOptions.aspx). The difference is that when clicking 'continue' on the Gift Options, the customer is returned to the one-page checkout and all is fine. But, if the customer has been taken to the ShipAddresses.aspx from the one-page checkout and clicks 'continue', instead of being returned to the one-page checkout they are sent to the next step in the alternate checkout process.

Is this the intended functionality? It seems a bit strange that the customer will be shown a different checkout interface for payment etc. Also I would then need to support both checkout alternatives if I want to have sending to multiple destinations allowed.

Would it be possible to return the customer to the one-page checkout from the multiple destinations page? Is there any support in the one-page checkout to show the destinations chosen?

Thanks for your time

Currently that's the intended behavior. The multi-page checkout is better able to handle more than one ship to address. It's kind of like "advanced" checkout.
