HTML message to seller variable

I'm developing a website for my product and I wanted the buyer to be able to send me a message. It looks like the 'no_note' variable is deprecated and the 'memo' variable is not working (at least not in the sandbox)  Is there no longer an HTML variable for the buyer to send a message to the seller with the purchase? If there is, please point me in the correct direction. I'm lost!

Thanks

Hello,

 

I don't believe the functionality of a buyer adding a note on the checkout page is available any longer.

 

If they're redirected from your own site, you could capture the note on your website and pass it with "custom" variable for a HTML button and it would then be returned to you.  Using this method, you would need to dynamically create the button using something like the BMCreateButton API.
