Why choose the Order Attributes extension?

As you’ve probably noticed, Magento doesn't have a built-in feature to manage order attributes such as product attributes, but in many cases you might need such a facility. That’s where our extension comes in very handy, saving you time and money! Even if you have a developer who can program similar functionality, it would be prohibitively time-consuming and expensive. To add one additional field to the checkout page, you would need to extend the checkout layout, validate and save information, extend the order view page to print it out and include it in a PDF or email. All that work requires time. And you would still miss out on some important functionality such as the ability to manage fields or change the information provided .

The quick and easy way to get started

Our Magento 2 Order Attributes extension works in the same way as the default Magento extension for product attributes. The Order Attributes extension gives you full control over additional order attributes. Using our extension, you can add a custom checkout field in three simple steps

1. Go to Sales >> Manage Attributes >> Add New Attribute.
2. Fill in the required fields in the form and choose ‘Attribute is visible in checkout’
3. Save the attribute

Once you’ve completed those three simple steps, your checkout will have a new field! Watch this short video demonstration on “How to add a custom checkout field in Magento 2” to see the extension in action.
