    I have a custom jewelry engraving company. I've already setup the app, I have added the products with the pricing, however i need to add a box the allows the buy to enter the information they want to have engraved once they choose the jewelry that they like. Preferably before the hit the add to cart button. I have several items and will need to make this available for each one of them. I got instructions from the robo but it didn't seem to understand what I was trying to do. It told me to create a form and embed it. I am very confused I like the app thus far I just need to get this issue resolved in order to be able to use it.

    Hi Joey,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    To add a text box for engraving information in your store app before the add to cart button, you can embed a form that collects this information for each product. Here’s how to do it:

    1. Create a form that includes a text box for customers to enter their engraving details.
    2. In your Store Builder app, click the Add Element button and drag the Form element to your store page.
    3. Select the form you created for engraving info and add it to your store.
    4. Configure the form properties to display the form properly before customers add items to the cart.
    5. Repeat this process for each product if you want separate engraving inputs per item.

    This way, customers can enter their engraving details directly in the app before adding products to the cart.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Best regards,

    Hi Joey,

    It's not possible to set up an individual text box for each product selected, to input a text unfortunately. As a workaround, the closest would be to add additional fields in the checkout page that will ask the customer for the text they want to engrave. Let me walk you through it:

    1. In App Builder, select the Product List element and click on the Store Properties button.

    2. In right panel, go to the Checkout Page tab and click on the Add Element button.

    3. Choose either Short-text or Long-text field, edit its properties and click on Save.
