How do I collect size, color or other information on items like t-shirts?

The merchandise store as of now is very basic, and the only way to do is to add each variation as a separate product afaik.

Obviously that won't work. For t-shirt with only two colors you're looking at maybe a dozen different variations of the same thing. Do you think there might be a simple way to include an extra field, either in jamroom or in the foxycart for a simple message from the customer regarding size and color? That would be enough.

I have found a way to do this by entering the following in the configuration settings, in the "Add custom form fields to your checkout" section:

<div class="fc-form-group ">
	<div class="col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-3">
		<div class="fc-input-group-container fc-input-group-container--checkbox fc-input-group-container--active">
			<label class="fc-input-group-container__title fc-input-group-container__title--forced fc-form-label">
				Order Notes (optional)
			</label>
			<div class="fc-form-group">
				<textarea name="Order_Notes" id="Order_Notes" aria-required="false" autocomplete="off" class="fc-form-control" placeholder="Enter size or other requested info here." style="background:#fff; height:5em;">{{ Order_Notes }}</textarea>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

Just make sure that info is included in the order details sent to the seller.

Good point.

Since I'm the only one selling things on this site, my only concern right now is that I get those details and I do. So for those like me running a label where you manage all the artists and products then this will work OK. It's not great. It would be nice to have variations and all that within jamroom, but this will work I hope. I'm sure there will still be a need for emailing customers for missing details, but this will reduce some of that for me.
