This may not be possible, but i need a Characteristics that instead of a variant, the shopper can add text information in, such as for monograming, etc. Is there some workaround someone has found that would allow for text entry in the Characteristics field on the product page? This is very important to my use of this product

You can do that by creating custom fields of the table "item" via the menu Display->Custom fields in the Business edition.

That way, you could add text input fields, radios, dropdowns, textareas etc to the product page in order to collect information from your customers.

Thank you for such a quick reply. I had already done that, but is there a way to make this custom field apprear on the individual product page as a variant that they can type in prior to clicking the "Add to Cart" button? Not something you add upon checkout. I do not need every customer to have to fill in this information, just the customer who purchaces the one product.

Yes, you need to create a custom field of the table "item" and not of another table. These custom fields are only displayed on the product page, before the user add the product to the cart, which is exactly what you want.

More information on custom fields on that page:
