How to handle a completely custom product

  • I really need help with how to approach handling a product in woocommerce that is COMPLETELY custom. I have written some javascript that shows up in the single product page and lets the customer build his product; my problem is how to update all the product information as the customer builds, and how to carry this information over to the checkout page. The info I need includes:
    – a unique product build ID
    – some product parameters, such as length, width, etc.
    – The full manufacturing spec

    I have tried cookies, custom fields and custom attributes and I’ve rat-holed every time. The cookies fail because I get multiple re-entries into the actions where cookies can be created; I cannot find an API call to update product instances of custom fields or attributes, and then carry them over to the cart page. I’m not even sure that custom fields and attributes can be changed for instances of products.

    Here’s a link to my single product development page.

    Could anyone give me some guidance here?
