TL;DR: What It Does?
Custom Input gives you precise control over what customers can tell you during configuration. Create field groups (text, textarea, select, radio, checkbox), assign them to a configurator step/layer, and optionally add an extra fee when a field is filled or selected.
The result: Fewer emails, cleaner orders, faster fulfillment, and smoother buying decisions.
Diverse Field Types
Add text inputs, text areas, dropdowns/select, radio, checkbox (and more where needed) for any order detail.
Field-Level Add-On Pricing
Charge extra when a shopper selects/fills a field (perfect for engraving, rush, gift wrap, and so on).
Flexible Placement in Steps
Place fields inside the configurator flow so the input feels like part of the configuration (not an afterthought).
Better Personalization
Capture engraving text, design ideas, special requests, and other “must-have” details upfront.

Field Design Best Practices
Ask only what fulfillment truly needs (keep it short, reduce friction).
Use clear labels + placeholders (“e.g., 2-12 characters”, “Paste your message here”).
Group fields by intent (Engraving/Delivery/Notes) so steps feel natural.
Price paid personalization transparently (use radio/checkbox for “+ $X” upgrades).
Default smartly (pre-fill common values when it helps, leave optional fields blank).
If you need the conditional field display (only show a field after an option is chosen), pair with Conditional Logic (best experience).
