SI Custom Fields for Shopify

Ask customers anything, and charge for the options they pick

SI Custom Fields adds questions to your product pages, cart and checkout, and priced options to the product page and cart. The answers land on the Shopify order, and an option adds its charge without touching your product price.

18 field types
from text and drop-downs to colors and files
12 templates
such as gift message, engraving and purchase order
3 places
to ask: the product page, the cart page or checkout
Free
for 10 products and 1 field group

Why use it

When variants aren’t enough

Variants hold fixed choices. They can’t take free text or a file, or add a charge for one option.

Variants and order notes

  • Long lists of variants for every combination
  • One note box that customers leave empty
  • Emails after the order to get the details
  • Extra charges added by hand

With SI Custom Fields

  • Questions shown only for the products that need them
  • Required answers can stop the cart at checkout
  • Priced options add their charge as a separate line
  • Answers on the order, ready for your team
How it works

Set it up once, and the answers keep coming

The app sets itself up on first open, so you start at step one.

All products, collections, chosen products, tags or product types.

5
Checkout checks

A group can stop a cart with missing answers.

Eighteen field types, shown only when they apply.

Two extras, if your store needs them

Turn them on if you need them, and leave them off if you don’t.

Photo ID upload

On Pro: passport, driver’s license, national ID or insurance card, with back side, expiry and minimum age rules.

Staff review

FAQ

Questions about SI Custom Fields

When can I install it?

Soon, but we don’t have a date to share yet. The app is built and goes to the Shopify App Store for review before it is listed.

Do I need Rentals & Bookings?

No. Every product is a regular product without it.

Does an option change my product price?

No. It adds a separate line through a hidden Options & fees product, so your product price stays the same.

What is free?

10 products, 1 field group and every field type except file uploads, including priced options and conditions.

How much file storage do I get?

5 GB of uploads a month on Pro. You get emails as you near it, and past 10 GB file questions turn optional until the 1st. Free has no file uploads.

Does it work with Buy it now?

Buy it now is hidden on products with questions, so the answers reach the cart. You can turn this off in the block.

Can I ask at checkout?

Yes. On the Thank you page on every plan, and inside checkout on Shopify Plus. Those questions can’t carry prices or files.

Can I export the answers?

Yes. Download a CSV of up to 366 days and 100,000 rows, or get a download link by email every day or week. Each link works for 7 days.

Can I move my options from another app?

Yes. Import a CSV, or map any spreadsheet saved as CSV, up to 5 MB and 20,000 rows. The app shows you the changes first, and groups arrive turned off.

How long do you keep ID photos?

90 days after the order is fulfilled or canceled by default. You can set 0 to 365 days, and 0 erases them at the next nightly clean-up.

Which themes does it work with?

Themes with app blocks use the block. On older themes the app embed places the questions on the product page. You need the Online Store channel.

Get the details with the order

Your first field group is free, and the answers arrive with the order.
