Adding box with Vat-number in billing address on checkout page

Hi Guys,

Just dicovered something while talking with a client on our store.
When a registered customer with a Vat number goes to checkout page and checks the billing addres there is no Vat number displayed.
Also in admin section (configuration -> settings -> customer settings -> address forms) we can activate a company box ("Busines enabled") but no Vat box.
Is there a way to implement this?

I understand this is not a big issue because when customer registers he can add his Vat number on the registration page but it would be more trusting that customer also sees this number in his billing address during checkout.

Can someone please give me some advice?
Thx in advance, and wanted to mention that i really appreciate all the efford from the Nop team & community!
This is really a supreme tool!

Best regards Bart

i think you can try to add new custom address attribute so it will show on billing address step.

It worth a try with adding new custom attribute named Vat with TextBox control type so when adding new address it will ask for vat numer

Update: Custom address attribute is available on 3.6 i am not sure which version you are using

I'll see if i get it to work, thx for the quick reply on this!
I'm using 3.20 but i'm thinking about it to upgrade to 3.60.
Just a bit reticent to update because we have many plugins running for 3.20 and made some changes before in styling etc. and
not sure everything will work properly after the update.
but thx anyway for your comment!

yes you need to upgrade all that plugin to 3.6 as well to work properly

Do you might know that all the changes we did in database files, (styles.css, common.css, etc...) will all be turned over or do we need to reset them like we did all ready?
Just to have some background info before we update.

After Executing the upgrade script you need need to move database changes like new table,new field changes on database level

But for styles.css or other custom core changes you need to manually apply that changes on new version as well
