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.
From the Order tab, click the link of the page where you wish to add a plain text or hidden field.
Under Page Sections, select the radio button next to the section where you wish to add the field then click the Add button.
Enter or select options for Field Display Name, Field Name Visibility, and Display location.
Select Plain Text or Hidden as the field type then click the Next button.
Enter values for the fields then click the Finish button.
Plain text - Enter the Field ID of the field and the text you wish to appear (HTML & JavaScript accepted)
Hidden field - Enter the Field ID of the field (appears as the name for the hidden input field) and enter the value in the Field Value field. For example, if you wish to add a hidden field with the name of field1 and a value of value1, then you would enter field1 as the Field ID and value1 as the Field Value.
Click the Save button when finished or the Save & Preview button to save and view your changes.
Return to Store Manager and publish your order settings.
