I’ll be adding a Date and Checkbox field. To do so, follow the following steps.

1. Click the Gear Icon

2. Add Fields to the Checkout 

Once you click the gear icon, a window will slide in from the right side of your screen. It will have all the fields you can add to your site’s checkout form. 

Depending on your needs, you can add any type of field you want. For the sake of this tutorial, I’ll be adding a date and checkbox fields.

To add the date and checkbox fields, drag the Date and Select (dropdown) fields from the right side’s window to the form. You can adjust its position by dragging it up and down. 

I am keeping the Label of the Date field as default.

To change the label of it, enter the label in the “Label” field. You can change it depending on your needs. 

You can also change its width, enter a placeholder text, and give a CSS class to this field by going into the “Appearance” tab. I am keeping everything to default in the appearance tab. 

6. Add Options to the Dropdown

To add options, click on the “Options” tab. 

In the “Options Label” and “Options Value” fields, add the label and value of the dropdown options. 

Click the “Add New Option” button to add a new option.

To select it, select the “Single-Column” button.
