Custom text for Card > Ecommerce

[jbWishmaster]

I need help, I use a "card" to build an order form for Paypal and I have finished everything except one thing. I need an edit field for custom text.
I do laser engravings and I want the buyer to be able to enter the text for me to engrave.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to do it.


I saw that it is possible with the Form Wizard and PayPal > Add Cart with Option
I need it in Card > Ecommerce > Type > Editbox <<< 'for custom text'

Please see the following similar post with replies from Pablo and myself on the use of adding a textarea for user input.Input field in an ecommerce card?

Because in PayPal you can setup buttons with this functionality...

If you are referring to what was adding a 'Note' (Textarea) to a PayPal button then it is no longer available and is now deprecated.

Unfortunately, this option has been deprecated by PayPal:

Adding a buyer comments or as it was called in PayPal "Notes" is no longer supported and is deprecated now. You can also create your own Subscription Button by visiting the following url https://developer.paypal.com/docs/paypa ... be-step-1/ but again as I previously mentioned adding a "Comments" or user "Notes" is deprecated.

Thanks,

well that's sucks, do you have any idea for a workaround?

Simply add a line of text on the lines of "For customisation please contact me with your requirements" to a email..

To carry on with this a little research shows although the "Note" parameter is now deprecated in PayPal it may be possible using PayPal JavaScript SDK custom_id to do the same. This requires the use of javascript so if you have some knowledge in this it may be possible.

I also found a possible solution using Bing copilot AI with the following question to it "textarea input using PayPal JavaScript SDK" minus the quotes and it gave a return.

I don't really want to post it here as I haven't tested so I can neither say it will work or not and can also not assist in implementing custom script/code as it is outwith help in the forum for the likes.
