Creating form to collect data for Personalized Products

I'm a new user and have searched for an answer to this question for days now. Found some similar ones, but they didn't apply enough to me or I am too new to understand in what ways they may apply. Therefore, I am posting this in hopes that someone else has done this before.

I offer one product (a planner), but in varying quanties. The products will be imprinted with the customer's name & contact information. I'd like to set up a form so that when they order they can input this data and it can be sent along with the order form. It will be apart from the registration form. My questions are:

1. Where would the best option be for this form - the product info page so they can fill it out before they put it in their cart or the page just after they put it in their cart (or is there a better place?

2. How do you create this page? (Guess I could use the registration page as a sample, but I'm not sure how?)

Hope I'm not being pain in the whatever for asking this. It really has me at a loss. I appreciate any help that I can get with it. So far this forum has taught me 99.9% of what I have learned about ZC. I hope one day to return the favor.

P.S. I'm using version Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8 I realize I should probably upgrade, but after reading the tutorial on that, I am not quite ready to undertake what at this point is a way too daunting task for my meager 'skills'.

You can use product attributes for this. ( Tutorials/FAQs article=57 )

Thank you so much for your help. That was way easier than I thought it would be. I love simple solutions:smile:
