Plugin Description
For anyone wishing to sell customizable goods or services, Easy Digital Downloads provides no out-of-the-box solution to capture notes or special instructions at the checkout without the need to purchase the more expensive (but still awesome!) Checkout Fields Manager add-on. This plugin, however, can be overkill for most website owners who just want a quick–and ideally free–way to collect basic customization information from their prospective customers.
Easy Digital Downloads – Order Notes is a simple free add-on that adds an “Order Notes” textarea field to the checkout form, enabling your customers to submit any order-specific instructions and have the data accessible by both store owner and customer.
Features
Lightweight – Bloat-free and lightweight (only 9kb) with no unnecessary options cluttering up your settings screen. Just install and start collecting custom order requirements!
Seamlessly integrated – Recorded notes are displayed and accessible within the Easy Digital Downloads payment receipt, email notifications (via the {order_notes} tag), exported payment history CSV report, and by Frontend Submissions vendors via their order dashboard. All order notes are available to view and edit by store owners within the View Order Details screen.
Downloads As Services integration – By default the orders notes field displays regardless of the items in the cart. However if the free EDD Download As Services plugin is installed and active, the field will only be shown if an item within the cart is marked as a “service”. The field will be forced requirement in this scenario.
Frontend submissions integration – Run a services marketplace? Order Notes integrates with Frontend Submissions so vendors can view the notes within their Orders Dashboard screen, making it easy for them to fulfill their service obligations.
Make notes a requirement – Using a simple piece of code (provided below) within your child theme functions.php file, you can make notes a requirement on all customer orders.
Export your notes – Order notes are automatically appended to the Payment History CSV export, perfect for archiving and storage purposes. The “notes” are automatically stripped of all unnecessary line breaks and characters within the CSV to keep things legible and condensed.
Easy customization – A range of developer-friendly WordPress actions and filters are provided to allow further customization of the outputted data.
Translation ready – Order Notes is translation-ready and contains a POT file to get you started translating the plugin into your native language.
