For the online shop website, sometime you may need some extra information from your customers. For example, you provides the extra fields for delivery date, pickup date, preferred contact method or special instruction. Today, we will look at the popular plugins that help us to get the job done.
Adding custom fields using plugins
There are a lot of plugins in the market that help you to add the extra fields to Checkout page easily. They offers both free and paid version. Below are the popular Checkout field editor plugins I found via WordPress plugin portal. I test them all and they work as expected. However, the free version has limit. If you want to fully control on checkout page, you may consider to upgrade to paid version.
Adding the custom fields to checkout page, it relates to display the custom fields on Order Received page(Thank you page), Email notification, My Account page (eg. address section, view order page, edit address section), Admin Order edit page (eg. billing address section, shipping address section, additional information section). So you want to make sure you pick the right plugin to match you need before you buy the plugin.
