Adding custom fields to products

Chart shows this is available in both Essential & Business but there is something "Coming Soon" related to it.

Please clarify...

I am attempting to add custom fields to products for a customer to type information in during the checkout process.

Perhaps I am missing something?

Any idea on how long it will be before we see the custom product fields which can be set from the back end?

That's great - sorry I didn't realize that.

You couldn't just explain how could you?

I have added a characteristic, which I should think is where I should be, but I cannot stop it showing as a drop down choice on the front end page.

What I want is to be able to add a product, in this case a caravan, and add how many beds it has. I would like to add this in a separate custom field in the 'Add Product' page so that it will display on the front page, but it shouldn't be a drop down menu or a choice to the visitor.

Thanks very much for your help, I am nearly done with my questions - promise.

2 Does each field are attach to they respective table ?
3 How export ( backup) import from different hikashop website work refer to new fields ?
4 is there a way to add new tables rather only fields of predefine table name ?
5 Does hiskashop is bundle by default by using custom fields for table adress ?


@nicolas
when i go to custom field i have 4 items ( adress used product and category ) see my capture screeen .
So I have less items that your capture screen of "Field page " . Is there a way to add new table ? Is there a hikashop documentation that explain how to achieve this and why create new table could solve specific problem .

Hi
@nabilazougagh
The best solution will be to set the "Type of layout" option of your product listing content menu to table, and to edit the listing_table file of the product view of your front-end template.
@lionel75
1. When you create a custom field, regarding its type and table, a field will be created through one of Hikashop tables (product/address/..) in your database.
2.. yes
3. if you want to export custom fields, you'll have to export/copy your database
