In addition to adding common HTML form fields, Checkout & Registration Manager allows you to add a few special field types to address special cases:

• Plain text - Allows you to add text to a page such as if you wish to explain coupons or promo codes or other content associated with sections. Note: You can also add a page message to appear at the top of a page in checkout (Merchant Solutions only) or add help text to appear beneath a specific field (such as instructing users how to enter the date in a valid format - DD/MM/YYYY.
• Hidden field - Allows you to add a hidden field with a value; hidden field values are passed to the Order Manager and can be used to pass extra information such as instructions for a drop-shipper.
