Case description
We needed a way for customers to provide additional information during the checkout process, information that could be different for each order so couldn't be stored against the customer's account. The specific information we needed to collect were Tax numbers and shipping instructions for the carriers. 
As the extension works well and is covered by the REST API we have also started using it to store a custom order status from our back-office system. 

Configuration
We created custom order attributes for the checkout page (EORI Number, VAT Number, Shipping Comments) and for the admin area so that only managers could edit them (Order Status, Elucid Order Number). The main settings are here:
