make difference between companies and people

Hi,

for now i didn't find information how to make a difference between individual people (paying VAT) and companies which are registered to tax office (so purchasing without VAT).

Due to local laws, i must ask if buyer is a company or individual person.
in case the person represents a company, I MUST GET:
1. its tax office registration number (for example in Slovak it starts by SKxxxxxxxx - where xxxxxxxx are digits)
2. and its trading chamber registration number.

should i create custom fields for that ?
a) where can we ask customer to type them ?
b) where is the best place to store those data ?

in fact, how does your component cope with that ?

thx.

Hello Nicolas,
I would like to have the VAT number shown only when there is something entered into the Company field. The "display limited to" does exactly the opposite to what I would like to achieve. Once I enter something to my Company field the VAT number dissapears.

That works, thank you While testing this I ran into another problem and that is editing the information for the customer from the admin side. I have VAT number and company as required fields and when I want to edit some information for a customer on the back side who is individual and not company I do not have the function of hiding the reguired fields in the admin side and the form wants me to enter the company name and VAT number.

Under Hikashop users when I would like to edit customer's information I have the company and VAT number required fields even when the user is as individual and not a company. The hiding of the VAT and company does not hide under the admin user menu.

I can wait. Thank you
