What Is EDD Checkout Fields Manager Addon?
EDD Checkout Fields Manager Addon is developed by Easy Digital Downloads and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for digital storefront owners. This addon eliminates the need for manual coding when modifying the standard checkout form.
The plugin solves the problem of rigid checkout structures by providing a drag and drop interface. It is built for site owners who need to collect specific details like company names, tax IDs, or project briefs before a purchase is finalized.
EDD Checkout Fields Manager Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing complete control over the checkout experience through a visual editor.
22 Custom Field Types
Checkout Fields Manager supports a wide variety of inputs including standard text, textareas, and dropdowns. Advanced options like file uploads allow customers to submit design proposals or mock-ups directly at checkout. Other supported types include radio buttons, checkboxes, date pickers, and multi-select fields for complex data requirements in ecommerce workflows.
Advanced Conditional Logic
The plugin includes conditional logic capabilities for almost every available form field. Users can set fields to appear or disappear based on the cart total, specific items in the cart, or user behavior. This ensures that customers are only asked for information when it is relevant to the products they are purchasing, such as showing a logo upload field only when a design service is selected.
Data Management and Compliance
Custom data can be stored in either User Meta or Payment Meta depending on its purpose. Storing information in User Meta allows it to appear on the customer-facing profile editor for future reference. The plugin also features GDPR compliance tools, enabling customers to view or request the removal of their submitted data, and includes CSV export support for order management.
