    NOTE: For the Soapbox Shop shopping cart form to work properly, you cannot add one of the standard Donations fields as a Custom Salesforce Field. For instance, if you wish to include the Phone field, you must do so using the field in the Contact Information section rather than hiding it there and adding it to the Custom Salesforce Fields section.
  4. In the popup, for Salesforce Field, choose the desired field you added to your Salesforce instance
  5. Confirm that the Type of field is identified after you have select your field from the drop down
  6. If you have chosen a Boolean field, for Checkbox, choose whether you wish this to be displayed as a checkbox (Yes) or as a radio button group (No).
  7. For Label, enter the text you wish to display to the visitor
  8. For Default Value, if you wish, enter text you wish to appear when the visitor first opens the form. If you have select a picklist field, make sure that your default value matches an existing picklist option in Salesforce. If you have selected a Boolean field, use false or true, as defaults.
