Add custom field to an order

[Mojo90]

Is there an easy way to add a custom field to an order like a note from the buyer to the seller? That would be a great functionality... E.g. where personal details like name and address are filled in to show on possible fields. Did not find a solution in docs so before enhancing the templates want to ask if there is sth integrated already

There isn't something like this integrated already.

I will mark it as a new feature but I don't have the capacity to work on new features at the moment.

Ok thank you.
Is there an easy way to enhance that by myself for an order?

You would have to override your own cart.php template, with the new form fields.

And then, to actually write the information to the transaction file, you'll have to override the process.php controller.

Finally, you might want to edit the orders.php template and order.yml blueprint to display the additional information.

Yeah perfect, that was easy. Thanks!
