OpenCart is a very popular eCommerce store management system. You can perform all the tasks you have to perform directly from the admin panel of your OpenCart store. One such important thing to manage in an eCommerce store is the custom fields. So, what are the custom fields, and what is the benefit of using custom fields?
Let’s assume you have a number of products with some configuration. Let’s say you are selling computers in your store. The information you have to display in this case is RAM, CPU, Storage, and much more.
Custom fields allow you to create such fields and enter data into that field when you are adding computers to your store as products. In this tutorial, I am going to show you How to create and manage custom fields in an OpenCart store. It is a fairly easy process. So, Let’s get started
Create Custom Fields in OpenCart
To create a custom field, first, open the admin panel of your store and click on the Customers -> Custom Fields option given in the left sidebar of the admin panel. See the following screenshot for reference.
On this page, you will see a list of fields available right now on your system. If you want to add a new field, click on the “+” button.
Now, Enter the details about the custom field like Name, Location, Type, Customer group, and much more. With OpenCart, you can enable the custom field for almost all the cases as you can specify the customer group too!
After entering all the information, click on the Save button given at the top-right corner of the form, just like the following image.
