Bold Commerce: Magento 2 Order Comments

Description

This extension allows customers to place a comment during the checkout. The comment field is displayed in the billing step right above the place order button.

Store owners can then see these comments in the backend on the order grid and on the order view page.

Technical

To take in account third party payment extensions using custom implementations of Magento_Checkout/js/action/place-order.js to submit the order, this extension sends the order comment in a separate request during the validation, before the order is placed. It should therefore work out of the box.

Uninstall

If you installed this module through composer, then you can run php bin/magento module:uninstall Bold_OrderComment to automatically remove the code and drop the columns added by this extension.

note: the uninstall command seems bugged and might get stuck at Removing code from Magento codebase: (It worked fine for me on a 2.1.0 install but not on a 2.1.4 install). When this happens you should exit with ctrl+c and run

composer update
php bin/magento maintenance:disable

See github issue 3544

Alternatively you can manually remove the extension and remove the column bold_order_comment from the tables

• quote
• sales_order
• sales_order_grid
