Description

If the customer buys a configurable product, with a product component being a Product Variant, the selected variant (Product ID and component price) is displayed on the ConfigProductDetail page before you click Add to Cart, but after this the selected variant never is displayed, or communicated, at all:

• not in the ShowCart page,
• not in the checkout summary pages,
• not at all in the confirmation email,
• and not in the OrderInfo page (order detail page) in the backend management.

The only way to find out which variant options the customer configured before buying is to click on the Production Run link on the OrderInfo page. For the shop manager and manufacturer this might even be good enough, but not communicating (i.e. documenting) the ordered and sold product configuration in detail to the buyer spells trouble!

So it would be great if, in the pages listed above, the selected variants would appear in detail, eg with the product ID of the selected variant product, and/or with the product name / short description, and maybe the component prices.

For example, the shopping cart now only displays the lines

Pizza
Peppers
Sauce

Instead it should display

Pizza
Peppers : Roasted PEPPERS-R
Sauce : Tomato Parmesan SAUCE-TP
