Map your form fields to Shopify's customer properties, then choose what happens when someone submits. ## **✅** Why use this feature By linking your form fields to Shopify's customer fields, you can: * Create a new customer account in Shopify Customers automatically. * Update customer information automatically when the person already exists. * Keep customer management in one place instead of copying data by hand. All you do is link each form element to a customer property. The common ones are:

Shopify customer property	Typical form field
Email — required	Email
Phone	Phone
First name / Last name	Name
Address, Apartment, City, Province, Zip, Company, Country	Text or Country fields

Reference: [Customer · Shopify Help Center](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/customers/customer#properties-2019-10). ## 🔧 Steps to map a form to Customers {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Open the form Open the app, click **Forms**, and open the form you want to edit. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Enable the Shopify integration Click the **Integration** icon in the left rail, enable **Shopify**, then click **Shopify** to open its settings.

{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Choose the account options Open **Shopify Account options**. There are three: * Automatically create customer account * Send email invitation * Require account approval Pick the one that matches how you want registrations handled .

{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Map the fields Your form's fields are on the left, Shopify's customer attributes on the right. Pair them up: **Email** to Shopify **Email**, **First name** to Shopify **First name**, and so on. {% hint style="warning" %} Mapping the form's **Email** field to Shopify **Email** is required. Shopify cannot create a customer record without it. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Add tags, notes or metafields Anything that does not match a standard Shopify field goes into tags, notes or metafields.

{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Save Save the form. From now on submissions create or update Shopify customer accounts, depending on the option you chose.

{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## 📌 Good to Know * **Email must be mapped.** Shopify requires it to create a customer record. * **Only standard Shopify customer attributes are supported** — name, email, phone, address, password. Anything else belongs in [tags](/customers-and-registration/customer-tags.md), [notes](/customers-and-registration/customer-notes.md) or [metafields](/customers-and-registration/customer-metafields.md).

## ▶️ Tutorial video {% embed url="" %} ## 🔄 How It Works ``` Customer submits form → Account created instantly → Data, tags, and notes added to the customer record ``` **Example:** A wholesale application form with Email, First Name, Last Name, Phone, and a Message field. {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Customer submits the form Fills in their name, email, phone, and a message, then submits.

{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Account is created Since **Automatically create customer** is selected, Shopify creates the account right away

{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Data is added to the customer's detail page The mapped fields fill in her contact info under **Contact information**. | Form field | Shopify field | | ---------- | ------------- | | Email | Email | | First Name | First name | | Last Name | Last name | | Phone | Phone | Tag and note are added. * **Tag:** Since **Add fixed tags** is set to `Wholesale`, her account is automatically tagged **Wholesale**, shown under **Tags** on her customer page. * **Note:** Since **Set notes for created customer** uses `{{textarea}}`, her **Message** field answer is saved directly under **Notes**.

{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## 🔀 Choose an Account option A form uses exactly one option, set under **Account options**.

Option	What It Does	Best For
Automatically create customer	Create a new customer account in Shopify Customers right after the form is submitted	Instant sign-up, simple registration
Send email invite	No account yet. Shopify emails an invite link. Customer clicks it to confirm and set a password.	Verifying real emails, fewer fake accounts
Require account approval	Submission is held as Pending in the app. You review it, then approve or reject. On approval, the account is created and invited.	Wholesale, B2B, membership, vetted access
