Add Custom Fields to Order Forms

Challenge:

The order form available to clients on both the WebLink and WordPress Plugin products
cannot be customised, the fields are set and may not be modified. The
only current solution is to use the REST API to build the entire web
integration which is cost prohibitive. Many clients would benefit from
being able to determine which fields of data are collected from a
student during online booking.

Proposed Solution:

Allow addition of custom fields on WebLink and WordPress order forms. Provide
ability to insert the form fields,
field titles and ordering of such fields so that customers may collect
the information they require about their students at the time of booking.

  Most companies use purchase order numbers - essential information that should be recorded at the time of placing an online booking via weblink or wordpress booking forms.

  Please also see my request concerning GDPR. This affects how you can use data collected from the booking form. Administrate's booking form is not currently fully GDPR compliant

  Thanks Tracy, for clarification, the other request referred to here is at the link below:

  The current Wordpress and Weblink offerings to present your terms and conditions for how data will be used, but there are not additional options such as choosing to opt into marketing activities.

  Agreed. We need to collect a Purchase Order (PO) number from our customers at the time of booking in order to successfully bill them. It would be very helpful to be able to add this specific custom field, or at least have a general comments field in the weblink checkout that we could use to collect whatever additional information we require. 

  I saw this idea was previously posted on the forum here - https://support.getadministrate.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/222284248-Purchase-order-field-when-using-weblink
