Thank you very much Elizabeth. That was very quick.

Have a nice day,

Thank you Cristian.

Please, any ideas?

Here is how I would like to use it:
I would like to reward some people with this one time coupons. For example, if John recommends my website to a friend, who will make a purchase, I will send to John a $10 one time discount coupon which he can use during next order or he can give this coupon as a gift to someone else. This kind of reward can not be done through the current coupons.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for very fast answer. I have created my own template and it works fine. I just don’t know how to get there the “ra” value. I need to know the “ra” for the script and php to calculate and show all the information about VAT directly and dynamically in the form.

I have successfully tested your recommendation. Works great!
I have now removed all the changes from paypal-utiilties.inc (you are right, they should not be there) and I will move it to s2-hacks.php (that should not be a problem). I can successfully write and read custom values in the from. Now, I would like to dynamically show the the price – similar like this:

Item price …. XX
Tax …………..YY
———————
Total …………ZZ

Please, is there a way to get the Item price (AMOUNT) in the form? I have been looking around, but I can not find out how to get the amount value inside my custom form template. I would like to show the customer TOTAL (AMOUNT + TAX) before he/she goes to pay. Thank you again.

Please, any news on this? I moved ahead a little bit, but I have problem to store the custom fields.

What I have done:

In paypal-utiilties.inc.php i have updated paypal_cost function:

public static function paypal_cost($trial_sub_total = FALSE, $sub_total = FALSE, $state = FALSE, $country = FALSE, $zip = FALSE, $currency = FALSE, $desc = FALSE)
					{
						//!rf $state = strtoupper(c_ws_plugin__s2member_pro_utilities::full_state($state, ($country = strtoupper($country))));
						$rates = strtoupper($GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["pro_tax_rates"]);
						$default = $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["pro_default_tax"];
											
						//!rf START - EU VAT patch
						$rates = '';
						$eu_my_country = 'SK';
						$eu_vat_my_country_rate = '20%';
						$eu_countries = array(
						'AT','BE','BG','CY','CZ','DK','EE','FI','FR','DE','GR','HU','IE',
						'IT','LV','LT','LU','MT','NL','PL','PT','RO','SK','SI','ES','SE','GB');
						$country_tmp = $country;
						if (!in_array($country, $eu_countries)) //is from EU?							
							$default = '0%'; //it's ouside eu
						else if ($country == $eu_my_country) //is from your country?
							$default = $eu_vat_my_country_rate; // yes, it's from my country
						else if ($state == '-') //is it a person or company? => check if EU VAT has "-"
							$default = $eu_vat_my_country_rate; //it's a person from eu
						else
							$default = '0%'; //it's a company from eu						
						//!rf END
						
						$ps = _x("%", "s2member-front percentage-symbol", "s2member");

As I dont need the State input, I use it to transfer the EU VAT to the paypal_cost function to calculate the tax. This works nicely (to be able to see the TAX calculation in form, I had to put a Tax value into Paypal -> Options -> Tax rate calculations)

Only what I have to do now is store additonal custom fields during checkout – e.g . the EU VAT and some billing info. I am able to hook and write to database and check $vars or $_POST like this:

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_paypal_notify_during_subscr_signup_w_update_vars', 'store_my_custom_input_fields');
function store_my_custom_input_fields($vars = array())
{	

		$user = $vars['user']; // A WP_user object instance.
		
		
		// Get an array of all the users' s2Member Custom Fields
		$custom_fields = get_user_option('s2member_custom_fields',$user->ID);
		// Set the value for a specific field ($custom_fields is an array)
		$custom_fields['eu_vat_number'] = 'works22:'.print_r($_POST,TRUE); //used for debugging			
		// Update the Custom Field data
		update_user_option($user->ID, "s2member_custom_fields", $custom_fields);
			
}

but the problem is, there is not the custom input field value from the html code – I have added this to the checkout template:

<label for="eu_vat_number">EU VAT (optional):</label>
<input type="text" name="eu_vat_number" id="eu_vat_number" />

I believe, this is the problem:
1) if I use ws_plugin__s2member_during_paypal_notify_during_subscr_signup_w_update_vars I will not
be able to catch the right $_POST which has the eu_vat_number. Is there a way how I can transfer it in $vars and read after the payment?
2) I can see the eu_vat_number in $_POST directly after a click on Check out with Paypal Button … but, I am not able to find any hook, which is working after that. I found, this should work ws_plugin__s2member_before_paypal_api_response but doesnt :( Do I have to clear cache or set something to be able to use the ws_plugin__s2member_before_paypal_api_response hook?

Please, any ideas? I really need to finish this Checkout page this week. Thank you very much.
