How Membership Fields Work

What Are Membership Fields?

Membership Fields allow you to collect and store rich customer information on your specific Memberships or Subscriptions that they purchase. Helping you create targeted lists for personalized push notification, or rewards. This data can be gathered when a customer purchases a membership or subscription or after they have purchased on the membership details screen. 

Depending on your settings, Membership Fields can be read-only or editable by the customer.
Warning
IMPORTANT: Once you create a Membership Field and collect data, deleting the field will permanently erase all associated data. This action CANNOT be undone, and we CANNOT restore lost data. If you no longer need a field but want to retain the data:
  1. Disable visibility instead of deleting it.
  2. Move the field to a dedicated section (e.g., "Archived Fields" or "Unused Fields") for safekeeping.
Always think twice before deleting a field to prevent irreversible data loss!
