How to configure additional checkout fields?

FireCheckout includes the Checkout Fields module. It makes it possible to show additional fields on the checkout page. Your customers will be able to fill them thereby providing you with the additional information you might require.

The Checkout fields module includes a simple interface where you can customize additional fields according to your demands. First you have to go to Swissup - Checkout - Checkout Fields menu. Here you can add the new checkout fields as well as modify the existing ones.

Checkout Field Edit Form

The form consists of two tabs: Properties and Manage Labels.

Properties tab

Within the tabs you will be able to configure the main checkout fields, and then assign field label to every store view (e.g. every language).

• In the Default Label field, you have to specify the label, which will be used if there is no store specific label set before.
• In the Store View field, choose a store view to display this one checkout field.
• In the Catalog Input Type for Store Owner you can see available input field types: Text Field, Text Area, Date, Dropdown, Yes/No Dropdown and Multiple Select Dropdown.
• In the Display Type select the look for the checkout field. This type is available for dropdown, multiselect and yes/no input types.
• In the Values Required field, set the field value to required or optional.

The Manage Options fieldset allows specifying values for fields with types dropdown and multiple select.

Advanced fields properties tab
