How It Works

Customer Checkout Experience:

Customer adds products to cart and proceeds to checkout
In billing section, sees "Τύπος Παραστατικού" dropdown
Dropdown shows two options: "Απόδειξη" or "Τιμολόγιο"
If customer selects "Απόδειξη":
- Company fields remain hidden
- Proceeds with standard personal billing info
- Places order normally - receipt selected
If customer selects "Τιμολόγιο":
- Six company fields instantly appear via jQuery
- All fields marked as required with red asterisk
- Must fill: Company Name, AFM, DOY, Address, Email, Phone
- If any field empty, checkout validation prevents order
Customer completes order with invoice option and company details
Company info saved to user meta for future orders

Order Processing & Storage:

Invoice Type: Stored as _vgdev_invoice_type order metadata (values: "apodeixi" or "timologio")
Company Details: Six fields stored with prefix _vgdev_:

- _vgdev_vat_number (AFM)
- _vgdev_tax_office (DOY)
- _vgdev_company_address
- _vgdev_company_email
- _vgdev_company_phone
User Meta: Company details also saved to user profile with keys like billing_vgdev_company_name
HPOS Compatible: Uses $order->update_meta_data() for High-Performance Order Storage

Admin Order Display:

In billing address panel, after standard address fields:
New section appears: "Στοιχεία Τιμολογίου" (or your custom label)
Shows invoice type (Απόδειξη or Τιμολόγιο)
If invoice, displays all six company fields in organized format
Styled with padding, borders, and clear labels for easy reading

Email Integration:

All WooCommerce order emails (new order, processing, completed) include invoice section
Section appears in billing details area of email
Both HTML and plain text formats supported

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.
