Add a comment to a product in your cart

Would you like your customers to be able to add a comment about the product when they add it to their cart? This can be used, for example, for engraving, name printing, a message to include with the gift, or other customer requests.

If you want to charge for gift wrapping, use the “Add-ons” feature in the cart and checkout instead. Here, the customer checks a box next to, for example, “Gift Wrapping,” and the add-on is added to the order as a regular order line with its own price. This works with the built-in themes Delaware, DelawareDK, Montana, and MontanaB2B. You can still use the comment field for anything the customer needs to write themselves, such as the text for a greeting card.

Add a comment field to the product page

Add an input field to your theme’s product page (in the “Add to Cart” form):

<input type="text" name="comment" placeholder="Comment (optional)"/>

The field can also be set to type="hidden" if the comment is added automatically and should not be visible to the customer.

Display the comment in the cart

In your theme’s cart template, the comment is displayed using:

<{if $basket[i].comment}>
  <p><{$basket[i].comment|escape}></p>
<{/if}>

The comment is included with the order and appears in the admin panel under order details.
