Description

Add an optional custom description field to items/order line items to support on-demand and made-to-order products. This field would allow sellers to capture product-specific details at the time of order creation (e.g., design name, color, personalization text) without requiring separate SKUs for every variation.
Example:

Product: 3.5" Cutter + Stamp Set
Description: Butterfly
Product: 3.5" Cutter + Stamp Set Butterfly QTY $5.00

Motivation

on demand items

Sellers who offer on-demand or custom-printed products (3D printed cookie cutters, name tags, multi-color prints, etc.) need a lightweight way to attach per-order customization notes to a standard item. Currently, this requires workarounds in heavier platforms like Odoo, which adds unnecessary complexity and overhead for small-batch or made-to-order workflows.
This field would support use cases like:

Cookie cutters – specify the design/shape per item
Name tags – capture the name or text to print
Multi-color prints – note color assignments per part

Scope

  • [ x] Core (community edition)
  • PRO only
  • Both

Acceptance Criteria

An optional "Description" (or "Custom Note") text field is available on each order line item
The field is visible on the order detail view for the seller
The field is included on packing slips, pick lists, or order exports so it's accessible during fulfillment
The field does not affect pricing, inventory, or SKU logic — it is metadata only
Field supports plain text input of at least 255 characters
