Custom Customer Fields

[sebenza]

Its been while since I worked with a v4 store... Whats the best way to collect additional customer fields? Using OpenUI as well. Can the OpenUI custom customer fields be used during checkout?

You can as long as after collection you use %XCFIELDS|customer_id% to collect it and %XCFIELDS_WRITE|customer_id% write the data. Then you can pull it out later.

You also need to pass it with OpenTokens through each screen until you need it.

"XCFIELDS_WRITE|customer_id saves the custom customer fields from the g.OUI_XCustomers structure (using the field code as the member name) into the actual custom fields."

Is this documented anywhere?

Just found the documentation.

Hi, can you point me to the documentation? I've looked and looked, but can't find it regarding custom customer fields. Thanks,
