# How to Repeat a Checkout Field for Each Product in the Cart

To ask for the same information about every product a customer is buying, use the Duplicate option in [Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/custom-checkout-fields-for-woocommerce/). One field definition becomes a separate copy per product, or per product item, in the cart.

### When to use it

- An engraving message for each engraved item.
- A delivery date for each product shipped separately.
- A name for each ticket or seat in the order.

### Set the duplicate mode

1. Go to **WPFactory > Custom Checkout Fields** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Custom Checkout Fields**).
2. Open the field tab and set **Duplicate** (`alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_1`) to one of:
   - **Do not duplicate** (default): one field, as normal.
   - **For each product in cart**: one copy per distinct product line.
   - **For each product item in cart**: one copy per unit, so a quantity of 3 gives 3 copies.

### Label the copies

The copies are labeled using templates on the General tab, under Advanced Options:

| Label | Option ID | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| For each product in cart | `alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_template_each_product` | `%product_title%` |
| For each product item in cart | `alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_template_each_product_item` | `%product_title% (%item_nr%)` |
| Glue | `alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_glue` | `:` |

Placeholders: `%product_title%` is the product name, and `%item_nr%` is the item number within that product line. The **Glue** joins the field's own label to the product suffix, so a field labeled "Engraving" with the default glue reads "Engraving: T-Shirt (2)".

### Notes

- Each copy is saved separately on the order under its own meta key. See [Where custom field data is stored on the order](https://wpfactory.com/docs/).
- Country locale handling is not applied to duplicated fields, so avoid the Country and State types with Duplicate.

### Get more fields

Duplicate works on your single free field. [Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/custom-checkout-fields-for-woocommerce/) Pro lets you add up to 100 fields, so you can combine per-product fields with regular ones. [See what Pro unlocks](https://wpfactory.com/item/custom-checkout-fields-for-woocommerce/).
