Adding Customer mandatory fields

[Memorex28]

I require 3 extra fields to be added when a customer registers an account. I would also prefer that I can view these fields when clicking on the customer to check their info. 

 

Secondly, I would also like to have the same 3 mandatory fields added to the cart section just before checkout.  Would it be possible to run reports to scan for these 3 fields for record keeping?

 

Thanks for your help! I am a complete newb to PrestaShop.

 

PS. I know there is an addon called Custom fields, but it costs money

Yes it is possible 

 

you can use the prestahsop hook "displayCustomerAccountFormTop","displayCustomerAccount","displayCustomerAccountForm" as you need

 

please refer to to this link all the hook listed there

you can create a your custom module or you can override the prestashop controller and themes files.

 

here us all docs in prestashop

I guess what I'm looking for is a more detailed step by step instructions for exactly what I want to do.  I'm not asking for someone to do this for me, but I would like to know exactly what files need to change and where they are located. I have no coding experience at all and these instructions seem like you need to be a coder or at least understand whats going on when reading it.

 

After looking at the Desjardins  payment module it seems like it takes the customer away from my store to complete the transaction.... I guess I will have to look at another solution. Thanks for your time and help.
