    I’ve successfully used the “var1” and “var2” shortcode options to create drop-downs. However, how can I get user-defined text via a text-box? In addition to a few drop-downs, I would like to have three (3) text boxes.

    Hi, can you provide an example of what you are trying to achieve.

    Thank you

    I’m using the plugin in order for people to “register” to participate in a charity event.
    I need to collect the following:

    1. Shirt Size (drop-down)
    2. Walking with dog? (drop-down)
    3. Walking in honor/memory of _____________? (text box)
    4. Team Name? ___________ (text box)
    5. Phone Number? __________ (text box)

    Currently, I can easily use this plugin for drop-downs.
    [wp_cart_button name="Web Walker" price="26.00" var1="Web Walker $26|Adult Small|Adult Medium|Adult Large|Adult X-Large" var2="Walking with Dog?|No|Yes"]
    As you can see, though, I’m missing input from the customer. I need a way for customers to specify those three (3) items via text boxes.
    PayPal buttons allow for this, so I figure this plugin should be able to handle it, also.

    Hi, unfortunately this plugin cannot add the text box for buyers to type in information.

    That’s a bummer. I feel like this is an unnecessary limitation of this plugin. I should think that a text input field would be just as easy to integrate as the drop-down variables.
    Would you consider implementing this function or provide direction on how this might be achieved?

    Hi, I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.

    Thank you

    I was REALLY hoping there was a way to do this as well. For my needs, I have an “event registration page”, where I need to get the First, Last name for each person being registered for the event.

    IF this isn’t something I can do directly in the plug-in, is there a way they can enter the information on PayPal when they pay for the items. Ie – a ‘shipping information’ box?
