Collect more than just username and email during signup by adding unlimited extra fields to gather billing, shipping, and custom information.
This WooCommerce custom registration fields plugin targets stores needing more information up front during user signups. With it, you can add unlimited extra fields to registration forms, gather billing and shipping details, and store information as user meta for later use.
WooCommerce’s default registration form asks for the bare minimum, which is great for convenience, but limiting if your business needs more information. Maybe you’re a B2B store requiring VAT numbers, membership sites wanting phone numbers, or shops needing to capture delivery preferences.
What sets this plugin apart is its flexibility. You can create separate fields for billing and shipping addresses, mark certain questions as required, drag and drop fields to control their order, and customize labels and placeholders while data appears on user profile pages and order emails.
Collecting the right data at registration saves time later. Without tools like this, you might need to email customers for missing details or rely on generic checkout fields that don’t suit your business, causing delays and lost conversions.
This plugin allows you to tailor registration processes to your needs, ensure required information is gathered up front, and give customers smoother experiences through purposeful data collection at signup.

Collect Extra Billing Information on WooCommerce Registration
Need more billing details? Collect extra billing information on WooCommerce registration by creating additional fields under Billing categories. Add fields such as company names, tax numbers, or phone numbers to ensure the necessary information is available before the first orders.
Once saved, these fields appear on registration forms where user responses are stored as user meta, viewable on user profile pages or included in order emails for fulfilment reference.
This helps ensure you have the necessary billing information up front rather than requesting it later through email exchanges or checkout field dependencies.
Collect Shipping Address Custom Fields in WooCommerce
For stores that ship products, collect shipping address custom fields WooCommerce by assigning custom fields to Shipping forms and deciding whether to include them in admin order details.
Ask for delivery instructions, preferred carriers, or gate codes during registration. Customers fill these out when they register, and you can reference them later when fulfilling orders, reducing shipping errors.
This upfront collection of shipping details reduces fulfilment mistakes and improves delivery success rates through better address information management.
Make Registration Fields Mandatory in WooCommerce
Some information is critical to collect. To make registration fields mandatory in WooCommerce, simply tick the required checkboxes when creating or editing fields. This prevents form submission unless users enter values.
If you see errors on frontends, ensure fields are marked as required correctly and that you haven’t removed them accidentally. This capability ensures you receive the data you need for business operations.
Required fields display visual indicators like asterisks, helping users understand which information is essential before attempting form submission.
