Custom fields
[TOC] Custom fields are a powerful tool for enhancing the booking form by allowing additional data collection beyond the standard fields (e.g., name, email, phone, country).
In certain cases, users may require extra fields to capture specific information relevant to their booking process. Additionally, some of these fields can be configured to add extra costs when customers select certain options.
This feature in OS Services Booking enables administrators to create and manage custom extra fields, ensuring flexibility in the booking process while also allowing for pricing adjustments based on user selections.
From this page, administrators can add, edit, remove, publish, or unpublish extra fields as needed.
At the top of the page, you'll notice the Field Area column, which has two possible values: Services and Booking Form. These values determine where the custom field will be displayed:
- Services: The custom field will appear on the Booking Table page, where customers select services.
- Booking Form: The custom field will appear on the Booking Form page, where customers enter their details before completing the booking.
