Create Order custom fields type Hidden for referral

Support
#1

Our site sets a cookie when a visitors comes form a referral link. We would like to pass that data on as part of the order, but I could not see how to create a Hidden input with the value pre populated. Can this be done?

Hi @Duffer,

I think this would be a good use case for the cart metadata field.

It can be added to the cart using the cart update method in the JS SDK.

Cheers!

Ya for now I attached it simply to all of the items in my store using the data-attributes

		data-item-custom2-name="referral"
		data-item-custom2-type="hidden"
		data-item-custom2-value="<? echo $_COOKIE["TagReferral"] ?>"

but that feels a little hacky as the referral should be attached to the customer not the items… but it works for me for now…
