Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 3:32 pm

There are many different ways to create a custom field in Shopify Checkout. You can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a custom field. You can also use a Shopify app to create a custom field.

To create a custom field in Shopify Checkout, you will need to edit the checkout.liquid file. This file is located in the “Templates” directory. To edit this file, you will need to use a text editor such as Atom or Sublime Text.

In the checkout.liquid file, you will need to find the “Checkout” form. This form is located between the

and

tags. Within this form, you will need to add the following code:

<input type="text" name="custom-field" placeholder="Custom Field">

This code will create a text input field for your custom field. The name attribute is required so that Shopify can process the information from your custom field. The placeholder attribute is optional but it is recommended so that your customers know what information they should enter into the custom field.

Once you have added the code for your custom field, you will need to style it using CSS. The CSS code for your custom field will go in the theme.scss.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable working with code, we recommend finding a Shopify Expert to help you with this.

This file is located in the “Assets” directory.

In the theme.liquid file, you will need to find the “#checkout-form” section. Within this section, you will need to add the following code:

#checkout-form input[name="custom-field"] {width: 100%;padding: 10px;border: 2px solid #333;}

This code will style the text input field for your custom field. The width property sets the width of the input field to 100%.

The padding property adds 10 pixels of space inside the input field. The border property adds a 2 pixel solid black border around the input field.

In conclusion, creating a custom field in Shopify Checkout is simple and easy to do with just a few steps. You can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a custom field or use a Shopify app.
