Custom Fields (or VAT) for Payment Flow (EU & UK Complience)
K

Current Behaviour:
In both: one- and two- step payment there is no room to collect business details required for EU B2B invoices (e.g. company name, full address incl. country, VAT number).
This makes it difficult to stay compliant when selling through GHL as a EU-based business.
When I don't have all the business details of my customer, according to our local law, I need to issue a B2C invoice including 23% VAT.
Desired Behaviour:
Option A (easy): Allow custom input fields in the payment form.
So before payment, we can collect VAT number, company name and whatever businesses in other countires may need.
Option B (long-term): Integrate collection of company data (business name, full business address, proof they're a business (US EIN, VAT, GST etc)
I saw you're already planning VAT verification https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/invoice/p/eu-vat-number-validation so I think it would be optimal if you enable adding it in the payment flow and ideally pulled the business data automatically from the system, so that we're 100% sure there is no mistake
Attached:
Example of how a payment page in Stipe looks like, that's actually compliant with EU standards. I think they're a golden standard as they work with most online businesses around the globe.
Sidenote:
As far as I know it's Australia, Canada and New Zealand also have a similar sytem (GST) and may benefit from this enhancement
