Custom Fields Overview
What are Custom Fields?
Custom Fields are a way to collect information that Commerce7 does not automatically collect by default.
When you collect this additional information, you can analyze and report on it.
- Example: You want to track which hotel concierge is sending you the most valuable guests. You can add Custom Fields to Orders so that concierge information can be recorded (and then reported on later).
