The product ID is not included by the automation fulfilment feature but there is a way to include this or

any other product specific information you want to send. An attribute with 1 alternative to the product you

wish to use the automation for. You can for example call this attribute "Product ID". Set the single

alternative to the product ID for your product or to any other identifier you wish to use. Click the

Fulfilment button for the product on the Edit Catalog page and select the fulfilment option you are using.

Enter a field name for the attribute, for example "productid" or any variable name your receiving cgi script

is using. Now your fulfilment option will send this information to the cgi script after a purchase and since

the number of alternatives is just 1 your customers will not see the attribute.

3.29 Product Comment Fields

Comment fields that are editable by customers are created in Edit Products > Attributes for each

product. When a product has a comment field attribute, customers can enter text for each product. The

text will be saved for each product and will appear in the receipt and order notice. This feature might be

useful where a custom inscription or specific instructions are required for each product ordered.
