We are currently using version 4.66 of the shopping cart on DNN version 5.6.3. 

We have a Dynamic Forms module that allows a user to sign up for an event that may require payment.  We would like to be able to send the user to the shopping cart with all of the appropriate information to pay for the event on line.  This way we could setup one product for "events" and differentiate them based on the description and date of the event.

We were thinking of using the custom field on a product details page but had some questions:

1. Can a user enter data into a custom field on a product details page? 
    An example might be to enter text to be printed or engraved on a product.
2. Can we go to a specific product details page using a query string parameter with the value to load into the products custom field value?
3. Can the products custom field value be included in reporting?

If this is not possible, can you suggest a way to handle this?

Hi Gigi,

1. The most efficient way to allow the user to enter custom data would be to utilize a product variant using the Textbox Display Type. The data entered will be saved with the order.

2. If you would like to link to the the Product Details module to display a specific product, the productID must be passed in the URL for example : www.yourdomain.com/ProductDetails/tabid/119/ProductID/14/Default.aspx

3. The data entered by the user in the Textbox Variant will be saved with the order alongside the Product Name, which can be viewed in the Manage Order Details screen of the Admin Menu.

Thanks,
