Frequently asked questions

Where exactly does the invoice information appear in order emails?

The invoice section is strategically placed in WooCommerce email templates:

  • Location: In the "Billing Details" section of order emails
  • Hook Used: woocommerce_email_customer_details (priority 15)
  • Emails Included: New order, Processing, Completed, Customer invoice
  • HTML Format: Styled section with field labels and values
  • Plain Text: Clean text format for plain text email clients
  • Receipt Orders: Shows only "Τύπος Παραστατικού: Απόδειξη"
  • Invoice Orders: Shows type + all six company fields

Both store admins and customers receive complete invoice details in order notifications.

Can I use this plugin with WooCommerce Checkout Blocks?

No, this plugin is designed exclusively for classic WooCommerce checkout:

  • Compatible: Classic checkout using [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode
  • Not Compatible: WooCommerce Checkout Blocks (the new block-based checkout)
  • Why?: Checkout blocks use different field registration system (Block API vs checkout fields filter)
  • How to Check: Edit your checkout page - if you see shortcode, you're using classic checkout
  • Greek Stores: Most Greek WooCommerce stores use classic checkout by default

If your store uses checkout blocks, you'll need to switch to classic checkout for this plugin to work.

Do company fields appear even when customers select "Απόδειξη" (Receipt)?

No, the plugin uses smart conditional display logic:

  • Receipt Selected: Company fields remain completely hidden (CSS display: none)
  • Invoice Selected: All six company fields instantly appear via jQuery
  • Toggle Behavior: Customers can switch between options and fields show/hide in real-time
  • No Page Reload: Field visibility changes instantly without refreshing page
  • Clean UX: Customers only see what they need based on their selection

This prevents form clutter and provides a clean checkout experience for individual customers choosing receipt.

Are company fields required when "Τιμολόγιο" (Invoice) is selected?

Yes, the plugin implements dual-layer validation:

  • Frontend (jQuery): Fields marked with required attribute and red asterisk when invoice selected
  • Backend (PHP): Server-side validation checks all six company fields
  • If Any Empty: WooCommerce displays error notices: "Το πεδίο [field name] είναι υποχρεωτικό όταν επιλέγετε Τιμολόγιο"
  • Cannot Bypass: Order placement prevented until all fields filled
  • Fields Checked: Company Name, AFM, DOY, Address, Email, Phone

This ensures you never receive incomplete invoice orders that would cause tax compliance issues.

Does the plugin remember company details for repeat business customers?

Yes! The plugin includes intelligent customer data memory:

  • First Invoice Order: Customer enters all company details at checkout
  • Saved to User Meta: All six fields stored with keys like billing_vgdev_company_name
  • Future Orders: When logged-in customer returns, WooCommerce auto-fills company fields
  • Editable: Customers can update details if company info changed
  • Convenience: Business clients appreciate not re-entering AFM, DOY every order

Note: This only works for logged-in customers. Guest checkouts won't have data pre-filled.
