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.

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.
