Hello,
In Paypal, just before you pay, there is a possibility for the customer to add a note to the seller. How can I get this note in Hikashop?
Right now, I miss it.
Here an example of what I'm talking about:

Hi,
The solution will probably be to use a text custom field from the order table, through "Hikashop->Display->Custom fields".

No it's not working. This is something that is coming from Paypal. Is there a way to receive it in hikashop system?

Ok,
Can you tell me where you customer will have to add his "Note to seller" ? through the checkout process of your shop or through the Paypal platform ?

This is something that is coming from Paypal

If it's something that is coming from Paypal, You'll have to edit the code "Paypal.php" file of your Paypal plugin to do what you want.

Hi,

You won't be able to get the note from PayPal in HikaShop.
But a simpler method, which would work with any payment method, would be to create a custom field of the table "order" and of the type "textarea" via the menu Display>Custom fields. That would allow your users to add a note during the checkout and it would automatically be attached to the order, the email notifications etc.
