I need to pass a custom, and dynamic field through from the page that has the Add to Cart button on it, all the way through checkout. How would I go about doing this?

Basically, I have some Add to Cart buttons that add a specific "product" from the Store Products channel and the Product they add, depends on the entry from a secondary channel so I need to pass the entry_id from that secondary channel all the way through.

Hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it's a quick answer. :-)

You want to take a look at custom product modifiers:

This will let you pass any text along with the product through to the checkout.

  • Thanks for the response Adrian. I saw that, the issue is that I don't want a text input, I need it to be a hidden value because I am just using the data to populate backend product/order data. – Jacob Graf Sep 3 '13 at 14:02
  • There is nothing stopping you from using different types of inputs. Text, hidden, checkbox, radio - anything will work. You still need to specify it in the template though so that Store knows about the input parameter. – Adrian Macneil Sep 5 '13 at 21:51
