Hi @napptyme

This can be usually accomplished in two ways:

  1. Apps such as Infinite Options
  2. Custom code to add line item properties, here’s a tutorial.

If you need further assistance from developers to help you add this feature, feel free to contact us at support@pasilobus.com.

@napptyme Links should be updated and working now.

@juanvisbal is correct infinite options and line item properties are the best ways to do this.

If you aren’t planning on doing anything more in depth than a single custom field, I wouldn’t use an app for this.

  1. You’ll have a monthly fee.

  2. You’ll need to add code and make a remote request. This can slow down your site.

The line item properties would be a one-time tweak.

Hi @napptyme ,

to add a text field for a customer note, I recommend setting up line item property. Use this line item generator created by Shopify – https://ui-elements-generator.myshopify.com/pages/line-item-property

Choose text-long, name your label, make it required (if needed) and grab your code. Paste it in the product liquid file.

Hope this helps!
