You can instruct your customers to leave those details in the “Additional Comments” field in the manual checkout form.
Update: This feature is now available in eStore:

eStore doesn’t have an option like this. Maybe I will add an option for this.
The Fancy7 and 8 display option directly plays the mp3 file that you enter in the “Digital Product URL” field for a compact display option. It does not show or take anything from the description field of the product. If you want to show the description field, use one of the other fancy display options that shows the description section of a product.
This page has a list of all the fancy display options available in eStore:

Buy Now type buttons are single checkout buttons. If you want to let your customers buy multiple items together you need to use “Add to cart” type buttons. This lets you use coupon codes and stuff. This post will explain the differences between the available types of buttons:
If you read the help text for the “Buy Now or Subscription Type Button Specific Settings” section you will see that it says something like the following:
The options in this section are only used for "Buy Now" or "Subscription" type buttonsWhat that means is that the options you specify in this section are only used if the button is of type buy now or subscription.
So my question is when you placed a button for this product what type of button did you use? Can you tell me the shortcode that you used to place the button for this individual product?
As soon as you make a payment for any products from our site PayPal will send you a receipt that contains a transaction ID. PayPal never misses to do this but it is possible that the receipt went to your spam folder. PayPal sends us a copy of the receipt too. I forwarded you a copy of that receipt.
“Try entering a Product Page URL” – What this means is that your server do not have CURL support. The plugin checks each URL value you entered to make sure there is no typo in the URL. On servers where URL fopen is disabled it tries to do the check using CURL and since that is also blocked, it has to wait 30 seconds before it times out.
Open the “eStore_utility_functions.php” file and search for the following:
function eStore_is_valid_url_if_not_empty($url)
{
if(empty($url))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return eStore_is_valid_url($url);
}
}Once you find it replace it with the following:
function eStore_is_valid_url_if_not_empty($url)
{
return true;
}This should make it to where it doesn’t do that URL check anymore. You will just have to make sure you enter the correct URL value.
Just so you know… There is a settings field called “Cancel URL” in eStore where you can specify a URL value. So when your customer lands on PayPal they can click on the cancel button and it will take them to that page. PayPal knows that the back button may not work on automatic HTTP form submission (not all shopping cart uses the same submission technique) so they offer this option.
The tattoo site you mentioned is using a “Buy Now” or “Subscription” type button where automatic form submission do not happen and this is not a problem in the first place. If you use buy now type buttons on your site you will see the same behavior too. This post explains the different types of buttons:
In terms of changing the message that gets displayed… you can modify the “eStore_payment_submission.php” file and change the message to say whatever you want it to say. Search for the following line in that file then change it:
Either your shopping cart is empty or the PHP Session on your server is not working correctlyYou need to use the site that have the Affiliate plugin installed. Basically it needs a link to the “redirect.php” script that comes with the affiliate plugin.
We do not have any integration option with the “Formstack forms” application. We can however tell you how you can retrieve the affiliate ID and add it to a hidden field using PHP. The affiliate ID is stored in a cookie and can be retrieved using the following code:
<?php
$aff_id = $_COOKIE['ap_id'];
echo '<input type="hidden" name="affiliate_id" value="'.$aff_id.'" />';
?>This 3rd party integration API might come in handy:
