Hello All,

https://shopify.dev/tutorials/customize-theme-get-more-information-with-customer-registration-form

I don’t want to save details in admin as a customer note i want to save them as a attribute like a first name last name and email address got saved after creating an account (Pic mention below is a picture of customer account saving detail of additional field i.e phone number as a customer note)

Help with a solution by which it can be saved Try not to suggest app if your are suggesting app have a strong reason why i must try an app(Only if its not possible by coding)

Thank you

Hi @Amitjaiswal !

Shopify does not allow the customer details page in the Shopify admin to be customized, so unfortunately it is not possible to add custom fields directly into the page shown in your screenshots. Without the use of an app, the most common solution is the one you’ve already found; taking the data for custom fields and saving it into the Customer Note in Shopify.

With the use of an app like Customer Fields, you can collect additional ‘standard’ data from customers when they register for an account (or when existing customers login and edit their account), and this data will show up in the normal places in the Shopify admin. Here’s some examples of the additional standard fields for customers:

  • Phone number
  • Default address
  • Accepts marketing (for newsletter subscribers)
  • Tax exempt

With Customer Fields you can also collect additional ‘custom’ data for customers for virtually anything you’d like, including things like “birthday”, “gender”, “favorite color”, etc. All of the data for custom fields is saved into Shopify’s metafields automatically, and this means you can easily display this custom data directly on the storefront using Liquid. The app has it’s own customer directory that allows you to easily access all of your customer data, and if needed you can export the data to a CSV. Although you cannot get the custom data to show up directly in the Shopify admin without adding it into the customer note (or tags), you can quickly find the custom data in Customer Fields using the ‘More actions’ link in the Shopify admin. Here is a screenshot that shows an example of the ‘More actions’ link that I’m referring to:

I realize that you were hoping to avoid using an app, but hopefully this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any questions :slightly_smiling_face:

Can anyone help us with this topic?

Shopify now allows you to pin metafields, which means you can now display custom data on your Customer page! https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/metafields/pinning-metafield-definitions

Hi Amitjaiswal,

I know that you want to avoid using an app to accomplish this but I don’t think it is possibile to save additional data without using one of them.

I want to inform you that we’ve developed an app that lets you add custom fields to the registration form! Data will be saved into customer metafield.
