Adding Custom Fields to Checkout Process

[olivergleave]

Does anyone know how to add custom fields to the checkout process (and presumably the database)?

 

My site sells mobile phones, and when a customer proceeds to the checkout with their chosen phone, I need to collect certain custom information from them, namely:

 

1. direct debit information (Bank Name, Account Name, Account Number & Sort Code)

2. handset activation password (32 characters)

3. other fields to be determined in the future.

 

I would also like the ability to have one of the checkout phases force the customer to agree to my terms and conditions before proceeding... so can I add a text box containing the T&C's with a check box and Submit button below it ?

 

... I do not consider myself confident enough with PHP to customise this myself. I was rather hoping for a contribution somewhere, or perhaps sample code from someone who has done it before ?

 

Any guidance or help is greatly appreciated.

Fantastic - that contribution will fix my T&C's problem . . .

 

. . . now just have to figure a way around adding custom fields . . .

Further to the post I made some weeks ago now, I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has been able to implement custom fields into the checkout process yet ?

 

I need to capture Direct Debit information, at the time of the customer placing their order, namely:

 

Account Name (e.g./ MR A SMITH)

Account Number (8 numbers, e.g/ 1234 5678

Sort Code (e.g./ 00-11-22)

Bank/Building Society (e.g./ First Direct HSBC)

Bank/Building Society Address : (e.g./ 40 Wakefield Road, Leeds LS98 1FD)

 

I guess there will have to be changes to the database in order for this to happen, but could I just add a form half way through the checkout process to capture this information ? How do I do this ?

 

I am not familiar with PHP, and so turn to you all for some guidance.

 

Any helpful comments is greatly appreciated,

I want to do something similar. Did you ever find a solution to this. Thanks.
