Many of AccessAlly’s features need to store information in a corresponding custom field. As you build out offerings, you may create multiple custom fields, each with a unique purpose.
For example, if you wish to store the number of points a member has, you’ll want to create a custom field that stores this information.
Another example would be if you need to collect miscellaneous information (like a t-shirt size!) via the order form/purchase process, and need a special custom field to record the info.
