How to add custom fields to gather learners’ information?

This article guides you on adding new input fields to gather students’ information during registration and checkout.

While signing up on your course platform, the learners are required to provide their details. For example, First Name, E-mail id & password are some pre-defined fields that are mandatory for learners to fill. However, you have the flexibility to configure other fields. 

Steps to add new Custom Fields
