User was able to skip provinces on invoice- therefore skipping taxes

Hello!

We had a user who was renewing a subscription online and they skipped filling in their province and therefore, skipped paying taxes. I thought normally it prompts you to fill in the required fields (which includes province). I could be wrong.

His basket ID number is 388 if you want to log into our admin and check it out.

Ensure "Invoicing address handling at payment time" within CBSubs > Settings > Display > Invoices is set to "Mandatory invoicing address". Then under "CB fields for first invoicing address of customer" don't map to any fields to force them to fill out the invoice form entirely. Beyond that no idea how they skipped a required input.

Oh so currently I have it "Mandatory Invoicing Address" but I linked the fields to their CB profile. If the profile is missing the data, it does not prompt them to complete it? I am understanding now.

Hmmmm it's tricky because I want them to have the convenience of not filling out their invoicing details since we already capture that data.

How the does the system know that Company Name may not be mandatory but Province will be if I take out the matching CB Fields?

Province isn't mandatory. Only the following invoice fields are.

First Name
Last Name
Address
City
Zipcode
Country

Believe this is because not every country provides provinces. You can however modify the invoice address XML file below and make it mandatory if you want, but I'm unsure if CBSubs will validate it and error if it's missing.

This is done by adjusting the first instance of the following.

Shoot! I think that maybe we will just have to keep an eye on every payment and ensure that people have filled out province. Otherwise, we'll be in some troubles come tax season.

Does the XML change help? As it should make the province input required.
