3mors Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi, I'd like to know how to add a custom field to the user account. For example, I need to add the user's VAT id in order to be shown on the invoices. Is there this possibility? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Wilson Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi 3mors, Welcome to the PrestaShop Forum If you'll be adding the VAT yourself to the order, you can use the "New Message" field to add that information: Go to Back Office >> Orders >> Customer's order If you want the customers to add it, when they create an account at the beginning of the payment process, have them type it into the "Additional information" field. You can change the name of this field to make it more specific: Go to Back Office >> Tools >> Translations >> "authentication" section >> Additional information Perhaps change it to "Additional information, including VAT identification number if applicable"...?

3mors Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. For Italian fiscal reasons, companies' VAT id is needed. If I use the "Additional infos" fields, is there the possibility to make it obligatory? BTW, I'm working to the complete Italian translation. I'll make it public as soon as it will be completed.

Peter Wilson Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi again, Turning the 'Additional infos' / 'VAT id' or any other field into a required field is actually a very good idea for added PrestaShop functionality. Until that becomes an option in the Back Office, in the meantime the code would have to be hacked. I'm not a developer, so I can't tell you how to do that, but I'll get back to you as soon as I get a chance to discuss this with the dev team. Terrific news about the Italian translation! Yes, please share once you're done with it. And thanks in advance for your contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3mors Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ok, let me know as soon as this feature will be available. In the meantime, I'll let you know as soon as the translation will be available. Anyway, is there a PSD format of all the images to be localized (with the font if possible)? Now I'm trying to use a similar font over the JPGs erasing the english words, but it would be easier with the sources. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk69 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi, I'd like to know how to add a custom field to the user account. For example, I need to add the user's VAT id in order to be shown on the invoices. Is there this possibility? Thank you. what you can do as a simple workaround, change the languagefile from company to company & vatid. Like that you have the company name and the tax id on the invoice as well. As said this is not a solution, but simple workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keon Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi PrestaTeam, superb job, really! I want to comment on the VAT issue. For successfull e-commerce in the EU, the VAT option is really required. Here are 4 scenario's ... - shop is in France, a french individual or company with no VAT number buys something, VAT is applicable - shop is in France, a french company with a VALID french VAT number buys stuff, VAT is applicable - shop is in France, a dutch individual or company with no VAT number buys something, VAT is applicable - shop is in France, a dutch company with a VALID dutch VAT number buys stuff, VAT is NOT applicable It is important that the VAT number is valid. It should match the registered company name. It can be checked using an HTTP POST to http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do I hope this feature makes it in one of the following releases. Keep up the good work!

PeterQ Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 PrestaShop is very good product as I see but I'm supprised that user form has no VAT ID field. It is very important especially in EU. Without VAT ID I can't print invoices because it is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
