Creating More Fields in Checkout

Dear members,

In addition to "Billing Address" information, I would like purchasers of products to add additional "Professional Information" when they are buying a product -

this would include: Institution of Employment, Years of Experience, etc.

Now, it seems I could add these custom fields within the Billing Address section, but ideally, these custom fields would be under a separate heading in the checkout process titled "Professional Information"

My question: is there a way for Custom Fields to be configured in this way - perhaps in the commercial versions?


Many thanks for your advice and support, Mark.

Nicolas,
many thanks for your explanation, which has clarified the custom fields for me.
with thanks,mark.

Nicolas,

one further question on custom fields - is it possible to have a custom field (say an order custom field) appear on the checkout page for "Product A" but not appear on the checkout page for "Product B".

Just to cut to the chase and give you some specifics on the task I have in mind:

The website will sell two types of products:

Category 1 - is to purchase permission to access parts of the website (this is straightforward, out of the box functionality for Hikashop in terms of non-shippable product sales)

Category 2 - is to purchase tickets for Courses/Conferences. Each Course will have its own Registration Form - with its own requirements for Personal Information, with text boxes to fill out etc. For this, I suppose I can create the Registration form using Custom Fields (but these custom user or custom order fields should only appear in specific products' checkouts) or I suppose I can use the Event Registration capabilities of Hikashop... but again, can I create different Entry Registration forms for different products/courses using Hika's event capabilities?

many thanks for your support, mark.
