# Missing Order Comments

 * Really need some help with this – I’m getting close to wrapping things up.
 * There’s a gap in WooCommerce – if a customer clicks on Smart Payment PayPal button
   they will NOT see the checkout page that’s shown if they normally clicked on 
   Checkout button. That means they can’t enter Order Comments/Notes. So I need 
   to add that field to the page that shows up after clicking on PaypPal Smart button
   which is form-checkout.php. How can I add Order Comments/Notes there?
 * I’ve tried a few things and it’s not working.
 * Could someone past this from form-shipping.php into form-checkout.php? It shows
   the right text but it then doesn’t show up in the Orders page so it must not 
   be the right field name.
 * <div class=”woocommerce-additional-fields”>
    <?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_before_order_notes’,
   $checkout ); ?> <?php if ( apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_enable_order_notes_field’,‘
   yes’ === get_option( ‘woocommerce_enable_order_comments’, ‘yes’ ) ) ) : ?> <?
   php if ( ! WC()->cart->needs_shipping() || wc_ship_to_billing_address_only() ):?
   > <h3><?php esc_html_e( ‘Additional information’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?></h3> <?
   php endif; ?> <div class=”woocommerce-additional-fields__field-wrapper”> <?php
   foreach ( $checkout->get_checkout_fields( ‘order’ ) as $key => $field ) : ?> 
   <?php woocommerce_form_field( $key, $field, $checkout->get_value( $key ) ); ?
   > <?php endforeach; ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> <?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_after_order_notes’,
   $checkout ); ?> </div>
 * Thanks!

 * To add to this, with the above change I can still see it on the initial checkout
   page if I follow that flow. But if I move it from form-shipping then it isn’t
   saving.
 * What in form-shipping is making WooCommerce know to save the text as the right
   field. It must not be saving it to the database.
