How can we store address information customer registration form

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

Main issue: A merchant using the Dawn theme added an address field (name=“address[address1]”) to main-register.liquid to capture a customer’s address at registration, but the value does not appear in the Shopify admin.

Key point: Theme code/HTML alone cannot create or store a customer address record during registration. Shopify does not persist address data from custom inputs unless it’s processed via an app that communicates with Shopify’s APIs (the programmatic interface for creating/updating customer data).

Suggested solution: Use a third-party app to build a custom registration form and save address data to the customer profile. A specific recommendation was the Helium Customer Fields app from the Shopify App Store.

Outcome/status: No native, theme-only method was provided. The practical path offered is to use an app integrated with Shopify’s APIs. The thread remains open pending the merchant’s adoption of an app-based approach.

Hi,

I wanted to create a custom registration form, where can I get customer address, location.

I am using dawn theme. I have added an extra field in main-register.liquid file,

<div class="field">
<input
type="text"
name="address[address1]"

id="form--b2b"
autocomplete="family-name"
placeholder="Enter Customer Address"
>
<label>
Enter Customer Address
</label>
</div>

When I give in shopify backend I am not able to see the address 1 value.

So I wanted to know how can this be done ? So I can get the address from customer in registration form and I can store it.

Hey @testAppKiss !

Unfortunately as far as I am aware, it’s not currently possible to collect an address record by directly editing the theme code, you will need an app to communicate with Shopify’s APIs.

One option for this would be our Helium Customer Fields app, which allows you to create and install a custom registration form, where you can collect an address and so much more.

You can check it out in the Shopify app store here.
