Ability for purchaser to add message in cart?

[granracing]

One of the products I will be selling on my website is a soft copy book. From time to time buyers are making the purchase as a gift to someone else. Because I like to sign the book and personalize it to the person, is there a way to add a "note" the buyer can add if it should be made out to someone else?

You can enable "Variations which tell more..." in the product's settings, then on the following screen, define Option1Name as something like "Personalized Note" but leave the list of Option1 values below that blank. This will add a text field to the Add to Cart button code we provide for the product, so buyers could optionally fill out that line before they click Add to Cart.

Thanks for the quick reply Tyson.

This is pretty minor for me right now but when I created the variations then pasted the HTML code onto my website, the questions appeared along with the shopping cart button on my web page. Do you know how to get that not to appear on the "store" screen and instead when the person is making the actual purchase in Pay Pal?

There really isn't, the variation code is part of the E-junkie code so it would be on the site. It is possible that you can setup such a feature in PayPal but you would need to check with them.
