Passing variables to the cart

Hi,

So we use Volusion for our ecommerce software and we use the External Site feature from Netsuite to display our pricing and for the cart/checkout process.

In our particular business for example, we have Item A. Item A is a "central" item in Netsuite which applies to multiple items in Volusion. Meaning our item script to display pricing will take the base price from Item A and insert it into the product page in Volusion wherever it matches. That works fine.

But since we are selling Item A to multiple items in Volusion, the descriptions do not match up. So what I would like to do is get a script running to take the Volusion description of the product, store it in a variable, and display that description for the item in the cart instead of the description being pulled from Netsuite. This way the customer will see the exact description of the item they ordered and not the generic description of Item A out of netsuite.
