How Do I Customize a WooCommerce Registration Form?

Last updated on January 11, 2023 @ 12:36 pm

Adding custom fields to the WooCommerce registration form is a great way to gather more information about your customers. This can be useful for creating customer profiles, segmenting your customer base, and more.

In this article, we’ll show you how to customize the WooCommerce registration form with custom fields. We’ll also cover how to style the form using HTML tags.

To add custom fields to the WooCommerce registration form, you’ll need to edit the WooCommerce_register_form hook in your theme’s functions.php file. This hook allows you to add new fields to the form. For each field, you’ll need to specify the field type, label, and placeholder text.

Here’s an example of how to add a new text field to the form:

// Add a new field to the registration form
add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form', 'wc_register_form_add_new_field' );
function wc_register_form_add_new_field() {
  WooCommerce_form_field( 'new-field', array(
    'type'        => 'text',
    'label'       => __( 'New Field', 'textdomain' ),
    'placeholder' => __( 'Enter your new field here', 'textdomain' ),
  )); 
}

You can also add custom fields to the WooCommerce registration form by using a plugin like Gravity Forms. Gravity Forms allows you to easily create and add new fields to your forms. Plus, it comes with a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to customize your forms.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or do not feel comfortable editing your theme files, we recommend that you seek help from a developer or WooCommerce expert. Making even a small mistake in your code can break your site.
