# Checkout Order notes (optional)

 * Hello,
    Woocommerce’s Order notes field on the checkout page says “notes about
   your order, e.g. special notes for delivery” this is confusing my customers and
   they are putting notes on there such as “leave in the mailbox” or “ring the doorbell
   and wait for someone to answer” obliviously these notes do not print on the shipping
   label so what’s the point of having this field say special notes for delivery?
   I am supposed to handwrite customers’ notes on the shipping label? or is it possible
   to print these notes on the button part of the shipping label? Thanks

 * Hey [@visibledeals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visibledeals/),
 * The optional order notes section is part of the default checkout page in WooCommerce.
   Those notes are included in the order info regardless of what shipping method
   or label software is being used, so they can be copy/pasted wherever necessary.
 * Can you provide some more info about which plugin you’re using for labels? Is
   it [WooCommerce Services (aka WooCommerce Shipping and Tax)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/)
   or something different?

 * Hello Shaun,
 * I use woocommerce shipping and tax plugin. I also reached out to them and this
   is the response I received.

 * Great, thanks! Glad to see that the devs created [an issue on Github](https://github.com/Automattic/woocommerce-services/issues/2297)
   to look into adding that feature in the future. I’m going to mark this thread
   as resolved, but if you have any other questions about core WooCommerce, feel
   free to create a new post here (and if you have any questions about labels, don’t
   hesitate to create a post on the Services forum like you did).
 * Cheers!
