I have used the Solution provided by brasofilo i found here Short Description in checkout woocommerce wordpress.
But for some reason, a colon gets added after every Description of every Product.
I used firebug to try to find out where that may come from. It shows up at the end of the dt class="variation-Productdescription" of every Product shown on the checkoutpage. Here is the code I copied from firebug:
<tbody>
<tr class="cart_item">
<td class="product-name">
<a href="http://shopurl/product/Product1/">Product1</a>
<strong class="product-quantity">× 1</strong>
<dl class="variation">
<dt class="variation-Productdescription">
<div class="post-content">
:
</dt>
<dd class="variation-Productdescription></dd>
</dl>
</td>
<td class="product-total">
</tr>
<tr class="cart_item">
</tbody>
Edit:
I can't upload images here yet as I am new, so I uploaded a screenshot of the problem to http://i.imgur.com/HMh8A3P.jpg?1
The Product Short Description doesn't have the colon.

Edit 2:
A solution that is working for me right now is:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_item_data', 'wc_checkout_description_so_27900033', 10, 2 );
function wc_checkout_description_so_27900033( $other_data, $cart_item )
{
$post_data = get_post( $cart_item['product_id'] );
echo $post_data->post_excerpt;
return $other_data;
}
But as helgatheviking has pointed out, this is not a good solution, even though it works.
I will work on a better solution without the echo
