I have googled for hours on end for a solution to this, but I cannot find an answer. Really hope StackExchange can help me out.

My goal is to get the customer comment, if any, added into my order/invoice emails defined in System > Transactional Emails and also in the PDF that the back-end generates when "Print" is pressed.

I have Magento 1.7.0.2 running with GoMage Light Checkout 5.7.

I'm thinking the easiest way to get the data accessible in both the email and PDF could be to use System > Custom Variables.

The field I want in the email is from the table sales_flat_order, the column is named gomage_checkout_customer_comment.

To add the fields to your email, go to system transactional email then edit/import those template.

Then add the following code where you want it to show.

{{var order.gomage_checkout_customer_comment}}

To add these field to your pdf see Add custom attribute to Magento’s PDF invoice

  • I have added {{var order.gomage_checkout_customer_comment}} to my mail template and that works great. Thank you. :) And I have followed the guide to the PDF changes, but nothing changes on the PDFs. Shouldn't the Inchoo code be activated somehow in Magento? Or does that happen autimatically?
