That's almost correct. You want to concatenate the strings using +:

.ClickItem("Product Order: "
           + Project.Variables.UserData.Value("ProductName")
           + " (Adult). Card "
           + Project.Variables.UserData.Value("CardNumber"), 0);

Alternatively, you can use aqString.Format to build the string. %s are placeholders that will be replaced with the variable values:

var strItem = aqString.Format(
                "Product Order: %s (Adult). Card %s"),
                Project.Variables.UserData.Value("ProductName"),
                Project.Variables.UserData.Value("CardNumber"));

...ClickItem(strItem);
