In many situations it can happen, that the data are not sufficient to account.
One might, for example, an internal customer number, another date (Admission), a car brand…. have just any information, Magento by the house does not bring.
There are of course possible to program these fields manually and integrate them into their own shop. Since this is not easy and is especially prone to errors even from the comfort not to mention, We have to Amasty Extension
used.
With this extension for $89 one has an almost unlimited ability to query further information from the customer.
The installation went smoothly. In contrast to Order Attributes you need to copy any variables into existing files, but has the ability to integrate all customer attributes then in email templates.
If you want to create a new custom field, have the choice between
- Single-line text field
- Multiline Text Box
- Date
- Multiple choice
- Multiple choice with images
- Dropdown
- Radio buttons with pictures
Furthermore, you can choose to display the attribute in the frontend as well as mandatory or value tests (e.g.. only numbers, only letters, URL…) to be carried out. Important also, WHERE this information is requested. There is possibility to view this attribute in the customer and / or checkout to let.
If a value for the order to be queried, that point can then be queried in the checkout area, He is only interesting for the customer data, then it can also be obtained only in the account.
Of course, the name of this customer and field selectable to differentiate between Store Views.
Sun then can any customer data to be queried, then of course the filter- and are sortable.
Used in Magento 1.6.1.0. Ask? Comments? Suggestions? Gladly!
