Custom cart attributes for all payment methods? Any app recommendation for custom fields?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

  • Goal: Add custom cart attributes (saved to order notes) to capture extra fields in the cart.

  • Problem: This approach does not work with some accelerated payment methods (e.g., Google Pay and PayPal), so the data may not carry into orders.

  • Suggested solutions: A responder recommended using apps that support custom fields across payment methods:
    • Infinite Options (available in the Shopify App Store)
    • Cart Attributes by HulkApps (claimed compatible with Google Pay and PayPal)

  • Latest update: The original poster can find Infinite Options in the App Store but cannot locate “Cart Attributes by HulkApps” and asked where to find it.

  • Status: Unresolved. Pending clarification/link for the HulkApps solution and confirmation that these apps consistently capture custom fields with all payment methods, including accelerated checkouts.

I planned to add custom fields to the cart by using custom cart attributes (these are then automatically saved to the order notes).
Apparently this method won’t work for all payment methods however, such as Google pay and paypal. Any solutions for this issue?

Or which (reliable) app for custom fields (cart) would you recommend that works for all payment methods?
