Hello,

I have spent hours on this forum and the ShopSite support areas trying to figure this out. I am trying to include personalization fields for a particular product. I've found the Cookbook page that shows the code for the product template and have placed that however, when I place the product in my cart, those fields do not appear in the Customer Text Entry field. Isn't that where they should go? Do I need to place a tag in the Customer Text Entry Header field?

So far I have:

1. Checked the "Check here to create a Customer Text Entry box for this product in the shopping cart." box in the product info area

2. Created the following custom product template:

3. Designated my custom product template in the product layout area.

Any ideas as to what I am missing? Here is the page for testing:

Thank you for any help you can provide.

See the help on this page:
http://www.shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US ... oduct.html

in the section [-- PRODUCT.OptionsBox --]

Note that the option for the text box is called freeopt not finopt which is for order options.
