We are building a shop on Shopify we are wanting to add custom fields to the "my account" page that a user views once they are logged in. Currently it shows their order history and they can add/edit their billing/shipping addresses.

I wanting to allow users to edit their email address and add other fields they can update.

I am also wanting this imputed information to be seen in the "customers" page in the Shopify dashboard for admin use or possibly on orders themselves.

We are currently using a 3rd party app but I need to get this information to appear in other places.

My question is, what is the best method, or easiest to add custom fields POST/GET in Shopify.

All help is greatly appreciated!

You can edit your theme files to include the display of custom fields. If your custom fields are mostly informational you can create them as a note

Unfortunately that appears to work for registration only. When I have had to do this sort of thing I've used an app that presents a form to the logged in customer via an app proxy and updates meta fields on the customer record.

  • We've been using customr, you just can't see the information within the actual Shopify customers dashboard. You have to use the app dashboard. I was trying to get around that. Thanks for the help though. – Alissa Isenberg Sep 27 '16 at 16:34
  • Displaying the information is pretty easy. You just alter the customers/account.liquid template. It's updating the customer that requires some work. – bknights Sep 27 '16 at 16:38
  • @bknights.. I think Alissa is talking about showing extra information in the admin dashboard panel - `/admin/customes/` – HymnZzy Sep 28 '16 at 05:40
  • @AlissaIsenberg, if you are using a chrome/chromium based browser there is plugin which shows metafields across the admin dashboard where ever possible. Check out for the extension "ShopifyFD" – HymnZzy Sep 28 '16 at 05:42
  • @Hymnz yes, I am wanting to display the information in the admin dashboard panel, customers. Instead of having to go through the 3rd party app we are using, Customr. I looked at the ShopifyFD extension, I'm just unsure how to utilize it. This is my first time working with Shopify and was only brought on this project a week ago. Thank you for the help. – Alissa Isenberg Sep 28 '16 at 15:51
  • @AlissaIsenberg .. ShopifyFD accesses metafields on each object type that is suitable. Check - https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/metafield. ShopifyFD's website has good enough guides on how to use the plugin - http://shopifyfd.com/ – HymnZzy Sep 28 '16 at 16:46
