Gather Details from customer when adding an item to the cart

Technical Q&A
1

Hi all,

I would guess this has been asked before but nothing stood out as an answer to what I am looking for.

I am selling customized items and I would like to add customization options based on the templates. For example, one template is for engraving and I need to gather some details like last name or phrase from the customer. Can I accomplish this without using an app? I am using the Dawn theme and I created some fields with the Shopify UI elements generator. After I created those fields I added them into a custom liquid box.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

You are looking for ‘line item properties’. This is how Shopify captures additional information on product pages.

There is a good gist here: https://gist.github.com/CarsonBain/8f206795a23514916405353c0c30e3fb

HTH, Gavin.

That was exactly what I was trying to figure out. I just wasn’t putting my details in the correct location.

Thanks Gavinator!
