Different Customer Fields for Different Products

Hello,

My client sells personalised products. I am wondering if it is possible to set different customer fields for different products allowing them to enter their personalisation messages? We also want to set a max. length on the fields (e.g. 20 characters - it would vary from product to product). Would that be possible?

Many thanks.

Hi,
I have been looking at the demo back-end. Can you tell me how to apply the item codes to a specific product? I thought I would be able to add the item code then selct it in the product screen, but I didn;t seem able to do this.
Many thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,

As Jerome said :

An item custom field is an extra input data for your products. The customer could fill the input before adding the product into the cart (and this information would be stored in the database with his order).

Hi,

I'm not really any clearer. I could already see where to add the item custom field, but what i don't understand is how I apply different item custom fields to different products. E.g. a product may be a mug with 3 item custom fields which are different lines of personalisation with different labels and different max characters ('front of cup' max 20 characters, 'back of cup' max 15 characters etc) and another product (a t-shirt) might have 1 totally different item custom field e.g.'t-shirt slogan' max 10 characters.

Please let me know if this is going to be possible with the business edition.

Many thanks,
Anne

Thanks for that. I've created a custom field in the demo but how do I get the categories to show up?
My other concern would be that the products requiring say 3 lines of personalisation may not logically match with product categories - e.g. some cups may require 3 lines of personalisation, others only 2 and others just 1. From the users point of view at the front end though, you would only want 1 category for cups. Can you assign cups to a sub-category?
Thanks again,
Anne
