I have a billing form, but the issue is that it is not validating correctly. I want that when user clicks proceed payment, it must ensure that all fields are inserted, thereafter they can proceed to the next page.

What I have tried:

HTML
<pre><div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="text" id="form7Example1" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example1">First name</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="text" id="form7Example2" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example2">Last name</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="text" id="form7Example3" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example3">Company name</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="text" id="form7Example4" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example4">Address</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="email" id="form7Example5" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example5">Email</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <input type="number" id="form7Example6" class="form-control" />
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example6">Phone</label>
</div>
<div class="form-outline mb-4">
    <textarea class="form-control" id="form7Example7" rows="4"></textarea>
    <label class="form-label" for="form7Example7">Additional information</label>
</div>
<button id="proceed-to-payment" class="btn btn-block btn-primary my-3 py-3">Proceed To Payment</button>

      const fieldValue = $(fieldId).val().trim();
      if (fieldValue === '') {

      }
    });

    // If any field is empty, prevent form submission

      return false;

JavaScript
<script>
document.getElementById("proceed-to-payment").addEventListener("click", function () {
    // Get cart data from the PHP-generated HTML
    var cartItems = <?php echo json_encode($cartItems); ?>;
    var subtotal = <?php echo $totalPrice; ?>;
    var shippingCost = <?php echo $shippingCost; ?>;
    var totalPrice = subtotal + shippingCost;
    
    // Prepare data to send to the payment_integration page
    var dataToSend = {
        cartItems: cartItems,
        totalPrice: totalPrice
    };

    // Make an AJAX request to the payment_integration page
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "payment_integration.php",
        data: JSON.stringify(dataToSend),
        contentType: "application/json",
        success: function (response) {
            // Redirect to the payment page
            var redirectUrl = "payment_integration.php?cartData=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(dataToSend));
            window.location.href = redirectUrl;
            console.log("cartitem", dataToSend);
        },
        error: function (xhr, status, error) {
            // Handle errors if necessary
            console.error(error);
        }
    });
});

You have not explained what the problem is. But I notice that #form7Example3 and #form7Example7 are missing from requiredFields.

@Richard MacCutchan, the problem is form itself is not validating well instead its sending an alert and not allowing user to first insert data thereafter once all this information is given it can be redirect to payment page hope make sense now.

Do it on the server. If too many errors, blank out the whole form ... someone is trying to hack you. The banks will do it with a 10 page application if you don't know "their" format for a phone number ... so why not you?

The problem lies in your 'validateAndUpdateField' function that does not check wheteher all fields have been filled or not, change it to -

JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
  // ... Existing code ...

  // Event listener for the "Proceed To Payment" button
  $('#proceed-to-payment').click(function() {
    // Validate all input fields
    let isValid = true;
    const requiredFields = ['#form7Example1', '#form7Example2', '#form7Example4', '#form7Example5', '#form7Example6'];

    for (const fieldId of requiredFields) {
      validateAndUpdateField(fieldId);
      const fieldValue = $(fieldId).val().trim();
      if (fieldValue === '') {
        isValid = false;
      }
    }

    // If any field is empty, prevent form submission
    if (!isValid) {
      alert('Please fill in all required fields.');
      return false;
    }

    // Proceed with payment if all required fields are filled
    // Redirect to the payment page here or perform necessary actions
    alert('Payment successful!'); // Replace with your actual payment logic
  });
});
