Can I store custom user data in Shopify without using apps?

[Peak8848]

Is there a way to store custom data input by users in a Shopify store without using apps? For example, I want to have a form for eye prescriptions and store the data in Shopify. Is this possible without apps?

Hi @Peak8848 ,

yes, you can custom code this feature at product level to upload the eye prescription which will be saved at Shopify and available in order data.

For this you don’t need any app only custom code.

Thank you for the help, Gr_trading. Can you direct me to resources or docs that will help me implement this?

This would not be HIPAA compliant and would get the merchant into serious trouble if that data is not de-identified. Shopify cannot provide a proper audit train either for the HIPAA Audit rule.

We solve this problem for clients, but it will not work as you just suggested.

Don’t take my suggestions wrong I’m asking about the feature where user can upload the image using file upload and Shopify shows that data in order.

Nothing is related to verify process of prescription, that part will be performed by admin manually before processing the order.

Got it. So, the eyeglass prescription nor any prescription data at all is uploaded to Shopify or linked from Shopify (e.g. to a dropbox, jotform or other hosted source for the data)?
