My site needs to deploy downloadable software, however I need to (amongst other things) take my customers website address when they signup. I spoke with someone on the phone a month ago and was promised it will be a feature in the coming release, 3 weeks was mentioned. I havent heard anything as of yet, any ideas when this is done so i can buy the enterprise edition?

Hi,
 
"Custom fields for user profile" functionality will be available in the next release of ViArt Shop.

Is there any news on this feature??

Admin > Administration > Users > Users Types > Customer > Profile Settings : click the Custom Fields tab.
