    Adding options to customer billing info

    I'm wondering if it's possible to add fields to the billing info during customer checkout. Specifically, I'd like to add an optional field and a radio button.

    We use Miva as a method to purchase tickets online to our venue. I'd like to add an optional field for "Ticket Recipient" for when the purchaser is buying a ticket for a friend or child. I'd also like to add the radio button to ask if the purchaser is over or under 21. Is this something I can do from within the system I already have?

    We haven't been eligible for update for quite a while and I have told the owner that we need to get updated soon. If this is something that would be available with update without an additional module, that would be preferred.

    Production Release 5
    Miva Merchant Engine v5.13

    Yikes, definitely need to get that store/engine updated at some point.

    With that particular version, you may want to look at the Emporium Plus Addendum module:

    It will take some setup to get things working like you want, but it's sole purpose is collecting additional data at checkout.

      I think you can do all this without a module, just by template coding. IIRC you can create custom basket field for the recipient name and the over-21 button, and have them converted to custom order fields when the purchase is completed. Some info on this is available at http://www.miva.com/videos/articles/...-documentation.

        Custom Basket and Order fields come into play at PR8 Update 9: http://www.miva.com/pr8-9-features I can tell you that you have a pretty extensive path ahead of you to get PR5 up to the latest version of Miva Merchant. 3rd party modules will need to be updated throughout the process as well.

          Right, sorry, I didn't notice that the store was PR5.
