    Currently each product has the “Special Intructions” field for customers to enter info. I am selling SEO services so I want to have two fields where the customer can enter special data, one field for url and one for keywords.

    Can I add custom fields like that to the estore?

    Thanks

    It doesn’t have any option to accept multiple custom fields (this is because the data has to pass through PayPal and there is a limit of 256 characters for the pass through variable.

    Why don’t you simply place a form on your “Thank You” page where the customer will land after a payment and can fill in all the details required for the service?

    Can you recommend a simple WordPress form plugin to do that which would be compatible with WP estore?

    Thank you.

    Any contact form plugin will do and will be compatible with eStore. I usually use the contact form 7 plugin (it’s pretty simple to setup)

    This page should help. Check the ‘How to make the “instruction” input box bigger’ section:

    Dear Admin,

    Someone inputs “AAA” in the instruction field on product B, and clicks “Add to cart”, usually he will have “B (AAA)” in his cart. But when I did the change http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-estore-miscellaneous-tweaks-215, I only have “B” in cart, “AAA” dispears.

    Thank you,

    Dear Admin.

    Regarding your proposed solution “place a form on your “Thank You” page where the customer will land after a payment and can fill in all the details required for the service”, is there any way to have a autofilled field in that “thank you page form” (for instance transaction ID) to relate the extra data the customer fills with the prior order?

    For example, in order to complete company name and tax id, you have to ask the company “buyer” about that elements, and it could be in that form, but you need some relational data. You can ask for the email again, but you are duplicating the customers efforts.

    Thanks very mauch

    Yes, your should be able to auto fill the transaction ID given the contact form plugin you are using has a hook/api to allow this. Which contact form plugin are you using? Does it have a hook/api to auto fill the value of a field in the form?

    Thanks.

    I am using Fast Secure Contact Form, which is very customizable and flexible, but I have no problem to change to contact form 7 or whatever?

    I don’t know about the fast secure contact form but I know that the contact form 7 plugin has an addon that lets you auto fill a field:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/

    I am guessing the above addon can be used to auto fill the transaction ID field from the URL parameter. When you use PayPal PDT, your thank you page URL will have the transaction ID in the URL as “tx” parameter.
