Hi,

In the Business edition of HikaShop, you can go in the menu Display-&gt;Custom fields in order to create new custom fields of the table "order". They will be displayed on the checkout so that you can ask more information to the user regarding his order.
If it's information on the user itself, you can create custom fields of the table "user".
