Thank you janet4now,

I am still struggling with WordPress (this is my third one after six years), and this is a better explanation than I had encountered elsewhere. It does explains my problem, so this topic can be marked as resolved.

For now, I don’t think it is possible to do it outside the main eShop plugin.
So I did it in the eShop plugin itself (in the cart-functions.php file, around line 1230).

I know this is dangerous because it breaks when eShop itself is updated, and I know I use a plugin to do something that is not intended by the author.

…but then again, WordPress itself was intended to be used as a blog platform once 🙂

I do use this on purpose: the standard {CART} tag displays on my emails the following information:

Transaction id: TEST-198560327853a9aff1464e2
flops 1234 : a 

Quantity: 1
Price: €0,00

Shipping Charge: €0,00

Total €0,00

Order placed on 2014-06-24 17:05:00

But I only want to see the Transaction id and the product(s): in this case flops 1234 : a

The solution described above (adding custom fields for info displayed in the {CART} tag in my eshop-extras.php file), is not a usual thing to do, but it works and it leaves the eShop plugin itself untouched.
