 * Hi there,
 * I sell bespoke products on my site and have a hidden product called “bespoke 
   product”.
 * Everynow and then I create a manual order using this bespoke product and I need
   the generated invoice to show custom product meta. Is this possible?
 * Currently, when I create a new manual order, the invoice will show:
    Bespoke 
   Product: $100
 * But I need to be able to tell what the order is for in particular, so I need 
   it to show something like this for example:
    Bespoke Product – Handmade Scarf:
   $100
 * Where the text “Handmade Scarf” is text that I entered in the backend myself 
   while creating the manual order. I hope that makes sense.

 * Hi! As long as an order is still editable, you can always click the edit button
   in the product row in the order and then add item meta, this will automatically
   be printed in the invoice below the product name (just as product variation data
   is printed for variable products).
    Alternatively, we also have a nifty plugin
   for this, which you might find helpful: [WooCommerce Quick Manual Products](https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-quick-manual-products/)
 * Hope that helps!
