Fields on checkout page according to category

Hello,

I am about to create an e-shop and I would like to use the Hikashop (business I assume) extension. I have used it in the past and I think it is great! Bravo for your hard work!

My basic concern and need is to have some different fields during the checkout process. For example, I need the shipping method to appear while purchasing some of the products but not for all of them or I need to configure shipping cost for some of the orders (depending on the category of products), but not for all of them. Is this something possible to be done?

Thank you in advance,
Dora

Hi,

The easiest way will be to enable the option "Use price per product" and set allowed shipping methods and price for each products.

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, the shipping method/cost that I mentioned was just an example. I need different fields in general, like a pick-up date also, with different parameters etc...

Thank you,
Dora

Hi Jerome,

Thank you for your response, but I am afraid neither Xavier's reply answers exactly my question nor yours at the moment. My question is:

Is it possible to have different fields on checkout page according to categories? I am not asking for shipping nor costs, but, in general, additional fields I might need to have.

Let me try to be more specific: I have 2 categories A & B.
For purchases from the category A, i need a date field for users to pick-up a specific day for delivery, that can only be Monday or Thursday
For purchases from the category B, I need a date field for users to pick-up a specific day, which can be any day

And in general, I might need in the future to have for purchases from category A let's say a 'Z' field and from category B an 'X' field, but INTO the checkout page.

So, are the above possible to be done, the particular example and the general one?

Thank you in advance,
Dora

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for your detailed answer, this is all I needed! One last question: after a cutomization like that, any updates of the extension will be applied normally?

Thanks,
Dora

Thanks tones Nikolas, you're the best!
