Custom Forms - as part of product page

Hi,

I'm currently in the final stages of my site development. I make wood products and offer a customization option to clients whereby they can specific a personal message that can be carved on to the final piece before its shipped.

Currently this input is gained via the Custom Form option as part of the checkout function. This is ok but I'd much rather have the input gathered while on the product page as I feel its much more seamless - the custom form takes the client to what could be described as a disjointed stage in the order experience.

Anyone know if this is possible? 
I'd also like to be able to gauge the max character input - so for example limiting them to only 15 characters?

website is www.thecraftyoak.co.uk/shop

Thank you

Have you tried the Custom Form option available in the Product editor?

I didnt try that as I had initially assumed the custom form as part of the checkout function was closer to what I needed. 

I will try now and reply back.

So on my product page I've no way of adding any Form Block (Assuming thats what you meant?) as the Page was setup as a Shop from one of the SS templates.

Does that make sense? Am I missing something? You mention the Product Editor, can you please elaborate what this is as I'm assuming its just where I edit all my products but I cant see anything Form related there?

I'm referring the an the product editor for an individual product.

Please see Editing products and Creating a custom product form.

Hi, 

Yes this is what I've been using... The Custom Form as part of the Product Editor which is under the Checkout section. The issue I have is this form pops up after the customer adds the product to the cart... It would be much more convenient if the input for this form somehow appeared on the same page of the product.

SS provides no controls for the order information is gathered. I know of no method to get the information ahead of clicking the add to cart button and have it become part of the order.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm finding Im having to rethink my whole site as this is such a relevantly simple requirement that even Shopify was able to provide.
