Simple Shopping Cart Customer Input Addon – Separating Different Fields

[adamspOV]

I am collecting 3 pieces of information using the Customer Input addon in my shopping cart. In the email that gets sent to the buyer, I can only reference the customer input as one field. Is there any way to access each piece of information separately so I can use it in the email sent to the purchaser.

When the customer input is collected; all of the inputs are concatenated into one string. The concatenation is done because, the input is passed as a parameter to/from PayPal. When the email is generated, it is only able to show the entire string.

Thanks for the clarification. I figured that was the case, but thought I’d check. Is there a limit to how long that concatenated string can be?

“In Theory,” the maximum limit of a URL, per RFC 2616 is 2048 characters; of which the concatenated string is part of, as part of an HTTP POST method. In real-life, don’t count on a string length of more that 512 characters.
