In today’s article, I’ll explain the step-by-step process to add custom WooCommerce user registration fields. I’ll use the WooCommerce User Registration plugin to add custom registration fields.

Using the custom code to accomplish this can be difficult for you if you don’t have any technical experience.
But don’t worry. Thanks to the WooCommerce User Registration plugin by Woosuite, you can easily add custom WooCommerce registration fields and collect the information you want.
So without any further ado, let’s jump straight into the tutorial.
