I'm looking a way to exclude the invoice generation for orders made by private customers, people which don't have any vat. In fact in Italy private customers don't need to receive the invoice if they don't require it. They just need to receive the receipt in the shipped pack. So I was looking a way to exclude invoice generation. I thought to create a new custom field, a radio button which says: "do you need an invoice?" if user click on yes then are displayed invoice fields to fill and users will receive the invoice via email with your plugin (as it normally working).

And for which version of HikaShop are you trying to do that ? Based on that we might be able to provide a solution.

For users is not allowed to print invoice on frontend, if is that what you mean saying: The "invoice" button when they edit their order ? I'm using Hikashop Business 2.6.2 at the moment but I'll upgrade if needed to do this job.

I've been not so clear while explaining because seems that with your code no invoice is sent to the user but in website backend order panel the invoice has been created and numeration increased. What i need is that no invoice is generated by hikashop if user is private user (so empty vat) in the entire website. Hope that it's more clear now. Thank you again, superb support!
