Special Instructions section at checkout

is there a text box anywhere for a customer to add a note when placing their order?

Hi,

you can use the Checkout attributes for that purpose. You can create a new one by going to Administration -> Catalog -> Attributes -> Checkout attributes. It should be of type - textbox or multiline textbox.

The checkout attributes are visible in Products tab of every order.

Hope this helps!

ok, great, thank you very much!
