We have spent the greater part of a year working on an update that makes the app more powerful and easier to use. The experience in the new form builder is so much better than the old legacy fields editor, and we know you (and your customers) will love all of the new features. 🤗

Highlights:

This update is primarily focused on improving the form building experience. We’ve added lots of new features to give you more control, while also making the app easier to use. We went back to the drawing board (literally) and the result is a simpler, cleaner UI that allows you to do more with less friction.

This new version has been built using Polaris to provide a user experience that is more consistent with the look and feel of the Shopify platform. There’s a new drag-and-drop tool in the app that makes form editing a breeze, and we’ve added some features for power users including a CSV upload for field options. You’ll also be able to preview your forms right in the app - even before installing any app code on a theme.

Over 10 new field types have been added to give you more control over the form layout and the types of data you can collect from customers. We've also simplified the interface for existing field types with listed options (ie: radio buttons and dropdowns). You can now upload a .csv with option labels and values, and you can even sort & reorder the options.

Validation rules allow you to easily limit the number of characters for a field, force field values to match a specific regex, and much more! For example, require a user to be 18 years or older to register for an account.

With form steps, you can create a multi-step form instead of showing all form fields at once. This is especially helpful if you have a large number of fields and you don’t want to overwhelm your customers with too many questions.

We’ve created options for form templates that are pre-built, commonly used form layouts. Templates are intended to save you a significant amount of time and stress since you no longer need to build a form from scratch.

Rules are arguably one of the most powerful new features that we’re adding to Customer Fields, and we are thrilled to see what you come up with! You can use rules to automatically trigger certain actions based on the conditions you specify. Here are some of the most commonly requested actions that will be available upon release:

If you accidentally delete or find unexpected changes, you can revert to the previously saved version of your form. 

Last but certainly not least, we’ve built in support for creating multiple forms. This opens up an entirely new way to use the Customer Fields app since you’ll be able to install multiple forms on the same theme. You can even install forms directly onto ‘Pages’ - entirely separate from your store’s standard registration page.
