About Custom Fields

With the Custom Fields API, you can create and manage custom fields to allow members to share any info relevant to a Wix site (for example, favorite animal or astrological sign).

By default, a member gets the following system fields in the 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.

Terminology

• 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.
