The Custom Fields API allows you to create and manage custom fields to allow members to share any info relevant to a site. For example, you can add fields for a member to share their favorite animal or astrological sign.
By default, a member gets the following system fields in their profile after signing up:
- First name
- Last name
- Phone
The Members Area provides additional system fields that a Wix user can only add in the dashboard:
- Address
- Birth date
- Company
- Position
With the Custom Fields API, you can:
- Create a custom field.
- Retrieve information about all fields (custom and already provided by the Members Area).
- Delete and hide a custom field.
- Update a custom field.
It’s important to note the following before starting to code:
- A site must have the Wix Members Area installed from the App Market.
- By default, a custom field is assigned to all members on a site. If you wish to assign the custom field only to specific members or entities, use the Custom Field Applications API after creating the custom field.
- Custom Field: A user-defined field that extends the default member profile information.
- System Field: A Wix-defined field from the default member profile information.
