The VAT number is used to generate an Invoice after the payment. I will see what we can do.

Ok, I will see what is possible to propose (payment service handler class in the eshop config). >> 4) With a payment system, we have a two-step confirmation.

If you want to avoid that a payment is done without any information about what has been bought. Because it is possible that the user buys something and an error occurs during the return from payment system. But this security could be configured if we have an additional flag (confirmation=yes). I am not sure that we will implement that for my client. >> 5) The clients have different pricing depending of a category (member, >> non-member...).

What is missing there for you? I have to select the price category from the Shopping Cart and update all product price depending of this category.
