Custom serial number based on information in order

Hi There,

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question.

We are looking to use HikaShop Starter to sell a software tool and would like to produce a serial (licence) key at time of order completion, basing the key on certain information provided by the purchaser. I understand that we can write a custom serial generator, but can we have HikaShop ask the purchaser to fill in a field, if the product requires it?

Specifically, the key would be generated based upon the product id, a variant selection, and a piece of information entered by the purchaser (another "magic number" that we will give them). For products that don't require a licence, the user shouldn't need to (or be asked to) fill in the "magic number". Ideally, a licence key would then be emailed to them on payment confirmation.

Is this possible with HikaShop Starter and HikaShop Serial?

Many thanks,
Oliver

Thanks Jerome,

I think "item" fields are what we want then!

Not essential, but is it also possible to restrict the number of items purchased _per order line_ to one, yet still allow multiple purchases of the same item?

i.e. something like...
OrderLine:1 Item:MySoftware Qty:1 MagicNumber:1234
OrderLine:2 Item:MySoftware Qty:1 MagicNumber:5678

Or would HikaShop consolidate this to
OrderLine:1 Item:MySoftware Qty:2 MagicNumber:5678

Thanks again,
Oliver

Perfect - thanks Jerome
