Adding custom Soapbox fields to a Product

If you wish to collect additional information from a visitor when they order a product through the Shop shopping cart experience, you can include custom Soapbox fields for a Product. Adding custom Soapbox fields to a Product will cause them to be applied to the product detail view in the Shop shopping cart experience. The values entered by the visitor will be saved locally to your Soapbox site and will be accessible when viewing the the Order detail view.

The user experience on the front end is the same for custom Soapbox fields as it is for custom Salesforce fields with the latter having their values saved to Soapbox and Salesforce and the former only to Soapbox. If you wish, both custom Soapbox and custom Salesforce fields can be used with the same product.

Currently, any of the following field types can be used as custom Soapbox fields:

• Text
• Picklist
• Checkbox
