Do you want to add text on the product page? on the checkout ? Somewhere else ? If you want to just add text which appear on the order creation email only when a specify payment method is selected, you can use the bank transfer plugin for example. The information that you can enter in it will display automatically in the email.

What if I'm selling different product types...for example t-shirts and event tickets. Can I somehow designate one message to send for "real" products and another for "digital" products.

Warehouses will allow you to separate products in different shipping groups and you can create shipping rules for specific warehouses. The system for the shipping is already implemented but the code to manage the warehouse and edit the product warehouse is not there. By accessing the database, you can already make some "things" and the shipping methods already have a warehouse option for the creation of the rules. So, with some few code I guess you can have something like you want. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I'm looking into this for a school parent booster club. They raise money from three different sources. 1) t-shirts, etc. (physical product), 2) membership (no product, no download, just a thank you) and 3) an auction (ticket registration). They are asking if it is possible to send a different confirmation email with each type of order. If that is something that is in the works, I think their position would be to wait. (I was confused by your use of the word shipping, but I can see how the email responses are related. Last edit: 13 years 3 weeks ago by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile").

Warehouse system could be useful to separate the products in order to have one shipping method per group. Like I said, you can already use it but you won't have a cool graphic interface. The main problem will stay : there could have several products of different type in one single order. For this single order one email will be sent. So.. Which email would you want to send ? You can customize the email, it is possible in HikaShop 2.2.1 like in HikaShop 2.2.2 (with the new templating system) but there are many question to solve before thinking about a development and I don't think we can provide you this kind of support in the forum. It is something more like a custom development. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

If I go to Display/Custom Views and create a new field in table "order" , with "Custom Text", the text shows up on the order page, but does not show up on the emailed order confirmation. It works if I add text using the "Text Area" field type and set it to read only, but there is huge text input box on the order page. This method works, but is feels clumsy and looks a bit funny on the order page. (you can see it by going to store.basement-supercomputing.com/index....for-products-listing and putting something in the cart and hitting proceed to check out. What I am trying to do is create a "pro-forma" invoice payment method that allows a customer to print out a pro-forma invoice to help create a purchase order. I want to add other instructions to the confirmation email.")* Understood. You make an excellent point re: the variety of potential products on one invoice. I'm fine for now. Thank you.
