Add, remove and reorder form fields

Use Manage form fields to decide what the customer is asked for, in what order, and why the Province field deserves a second look.

Every line of the COD form is a field or a section you can switch on, switch off and move. Open COD Form → Form customization and scroll to Manage form fields. The preview on the right updates as you work, and nothing reaches your storefront until you press Save in the bar at the bottom.

Step 1: Switch fields on and off

On a new install the rows run in this order: Order Summary, Discount Codes, Address Section Header, First name, Last name, Phone, Address 1, Address 2, Country, Province, City, ZIP code, Email, Shipping Rates, Totals Summary, Customer Notes, Newsletter, Terms and the Purchase button. Discount Codes, Country, Province, Customer Notes and Terms are hidden until you switch them on, and any custom field you add goes to the end. Every field is one more thing between the customer and the order.

Step 2: Reorder the list

Drag the handle on the left of a row to move it. The order you set here is the order the customer sees, so you can put the shipping rates above the address, or move the order summary to the bottom.

Step 3: Look at Province before you go live

Province is hidden by default. If you sell to countries where Shopify needs a state or region, switch the field on and set it to required. Leave it hidden and the order is still created, with a dash written into the province.

Step 4: Add the Country field if you ship to more than one

Country is also hidden by default, which is right for a single country store. Switch it on when you ship to several, then pick which countries the customer can choose from and which one is preselected.

What to do next

  • Open a field to change its label, placeholder, icon and validation.

  • Need something the standard list does not cover, such as a date of birth or delivery instructions? Add a custom field.

  • After saving, place a test order so you see the field order the way a customer does.
