Account Form Fields Settings
Account form fields can be accessed from Settings › Account Form Fields.
Use these settings to customize the information fields in the following storefront forms:
Personal account signup
Business account signup
Business account request
When viewing the fields in a particular form, you can see what type of data each field uses, when it was last modified, and whether it was natively built into the form or custom-made.
B2B Edition utilizes a mix of BigCommerce's account built-in registration form fields, BigCommerce's user-defined custom registration form fields, and B2B Edition's company extra fields to create these forms. The manage button will take you to the appropriate place in either BigCommerce or B2B Edition to manage the fields used. Certain tasks like creating or deleting form fields, and making them required can only be achieved in their respective locations.
The following actions are available for form fields:
Rename the form’s section titles by clicking the pencil icon at the top of each section
Rearrange the order of fields by dragging and dropping them in the list
Enable or disable the visibility of non-required fields with the Visible checkbox. The checkboxes for required fields are greyed out.
Edit field display names by clicking the pencil icon in the Action column
