I've got a few MP users who have asked me about how to gather custom info for a particular product...
One client is selling an autographed book, and they need a custom field for people to input the name of the person the autograph should go to.
Another client is selling a product where they need custom fields for "organization name" and "organization address" to accompany the product. (Like for engraving or licensing reasons.)

Currently this is not an option as far as i know, Ive requested a similar request for a computer shop where upgrade / downgrades of the selected pc is needed.

Hiya guys,
Yep. We don't provide something like this at the moment, but it shouldn't be too difficult to add. You basically just need a custom field that would accept text input for that item.
I'm gonna mark this as a 'feature request' and see what the developers think.
I just got a new customer that sells custom lunchboxes -- and they want to allow people to upload up to 10 photos for a particular product (in this case, a lunchbox... the photos are then organized into a collage and printed on the lunchbox).
I gather this is in the same vein of "custom fields that accept input" --
YES! I'll +1 that for sure (on the text input field)! That would solve a ton of issues for our solution :) I was going to sugest, but found this thread, so kudos!

Hiya guys,
We'll be looking into per-product based instructions, but you can already add special instructions to the shipping page by going to the Store Settings>General tab and scrolling to the bottom. Just check "Special Instructions Field" is marked to yes.
One of the main reasons I signed up and purchased the membership was to be able to get this option working. I really need to have the ability for my clients to be able to tell me what name or other information they want printed on their product.
I was under the impression that this option was already available in the full version of marketpress.
We do have the ability to provide special instructions during checkout. Would that suffice? If not, we'll add your name to the list of folks wanting per-product customizations. We develop everything here based on member feedback so your vote makes a difference :)
Hi,
I'd love to see this added to marketpress. I have some products that need customer input and I used a plugin called Custom Contact Forms as a temporary fix. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-contact-forms/ . The obvious drawback is the information is not recorded in the back end with the other information about the sale instead it comes to me as an e-mail and if necessary I have to add it manually. Obviously if the cart would do this it would be a lot less work, but this works for now.

+1 from me too. Such a basic function. Seems like such an obvious feature.

This is already available. See my post above :)
We're looking at getting individual product customization added as well. Thanks!

Hiya dean@kausphoto.com,
First off, welcome to WPMU DEV!
