Hi, I would like to add a custom field which is “Account Type” with dropdown choices of “Corporate” & Personal when creating an account. I would also like to see it on backend on “Customers” whether the account is personal or corporate.

Any help and recommendation please!!
Thanks!

  • Go to Shopify Admin and navigate to Online Store > Themes.

  • Click on Actions > Edit Code of the theme you are using.

  • In the left sidebar, find the Templates folder and click on customers/register.liquid.

  • Add the following code to create the dropdown for “Account Type”:

In order to add a new field type to this registration form that actually saves to the customer’s record in Shopify, you have to use an app. I would highly recommend checking out our app Helium Customer Fields. Our app lets you extend the customer account registration form to collect any data you would like from your customers. Check out our demo store where we showcase a lot of the use-cases that our app covers.
