How to collect mandatory invoicing information at check-out?

[JasonByrne]

I run a paid publication on Ghost. My company is incorporated in France, so I need a couple of mandatory information when someone buys a subscription, for me to send the invoice (is this subscriber buying as a business? As an individual? What’s their company name and billing address)?

The Ghost check-out form only captures email, and I’m told I can’t modify it. One option is to create a form that new paid subscribers are redirected to. Is there another way? If I get custom development on this, how much (should) it cost?

Thanks in advance!

A custom checkout integration via the Ghost API is the only robust way.

I've been dealing with EU VAT reporting too, and adding custom fields for VAT ID and invoicing details at checkout really helped me stay compliant. I also noticed that asking for this info upfront can Improve Recurring Payment Success, probably because payments are less likely to fail later due to missing data. I used Portal’s custom fields to make it smooth for subscribers without messing up the user experience.
