Guide to Creating Custom Order Fields
Last updated
Minimate Apps allows you to collect custom data from customers by creating custom fields on your product pages and checkout pages. You can choose from different field formats depending on your needs and apply it to your chose of product or collection. These fields allow you to tailor the checkout process to fit your business needs.
This guide will cover how to create and configure the main custom field types:
Textbox
Checkbox
Radio Button
Dropdown
Date Picker - Date, Time and Date + Time options available
Upload File & Image
If the field is required to fill out, then select this checkbox and write your warning message here.
If the message length should be restricted, then you can choose the max length in this section.
A tooltip means your informative message when a visitor hoover on your field. You can write your message to explain why you have this field in place.
Alignment of the field means, how the field should be positioned in your product page. Left-sided, centered or right-sided.
Custom css allows you to change the field format for your theme freely.
After creating your custom fields, you need to choose where they will be visible to customers.
You have 3 options:
All Products & Collections - Field will appear on all products site-wide
Choose by Products
Select specific products to show field
Search products or select from list
Check boxes to include/exclude products
Choose by Collections
Pick which collections should show field
Search collections or select from list
Check collections you want to add field to
Field will show for products in chosen collections
Additionally, you can customize the Label on Cart:
This is the name for the field on cart/checkout pages
Pre-populates with field header
Can edit to use shorter name if needed
Another action available in this step is conditional logic. You set the condition on the field which is dependent to other field(s). i.e. If you want your visitors to select when it is a gift, then share a note with you, first you need to create a checkbox with only one option named "Is this a gift?". After that you need to create a textbox and on this textbox, you need to set a conditional logic. There you can state that IF the "checkbox" field is equal to "Is this a gift?", THEN displays this field.
You can also monetize these customizations by adding extra charges when customers utilize the fields created by our app. i.e. if a textbox field is filled out, an option is selected from dropdown, checkbox etc. then you can charge extra fee to customers.
First of all, create a product to represent your extra charge on cart and checkout page.
Then in the app, search for that product in the additional charge section and apply it to fields.
That's all.
Once you've set up:
Display placement (all, products, collections)
Label on cart/checkout
Conditional logic
Additional Charge
Click "Save & Next" to continue field setup.
