New fields for ecommerce and Web Invoice Pro

Hi Joe,
great work!

The European Union requires the full address, the tax (fiscal) code and the VAT (value added tax) identification number of the purchaser on invoices between entities registered for VAT. Is it possible add the required fields?

Thank you.

Hi,

You could currently add any additional information you like directly in the email body or the attached invoice, but I'm open to adding additional commonly used fields for EU.

Can you clarify about the needed fields and example values and data types. You mentioned tax but is that the tax amount? what is tax code?

For VAT you just want to enter an identification number? I guess that is similar to tax id we have in the US.

Regarding the customer address. I "could" expose those fields but when using PayPal or Google checkout those fields will be populated/overwritten by values provided at the time of payment, ie whatever the person enters for the billing address of their credit card. Similarly with Authorize.NET the user is required to fill in that information and it must match the billing info on the credit card, though we could pre-popualte it, they would be able to change it and would need to make it match the credit card billing address.

Best,

Joe

Tax code and VAT identification number are alphanumeric or numeric sequences, which differ across countries, assigned to persons or to business entities for the purposes of identification. Are the equivalent to a Social Security Number or to an Employer Identification Number. Everyone has the tax code. The business entities have the tax code or the VAT identification number or both. Invoices issued in the EU must contain this informations of the seller and the buyer.

Good point for the customer's address, but some buyers do not want to use the credit card and prefer to pay by bank transfer. In these cases we need to collect the data of the buyer to issue the invoice.
