DeftDock Extra Checkout Fieldsv1.0

Unleashing the Power: Core Features for Developers

Alright, fellow code slingers, let's talk brass tacks. This add-on isn't just about pretty forms; it's a veritableSwiss Army knife for your checkout. You architect the data flow, and this bad boy delivers. We’ve got your foundational field types dialed in: text for short inputs, textarea for those longer ramblings, select for curated options, radio for single choices, checkbox for toggling, and the godsend, file upload, for any assets your customers need to sling your way.

But we didn't stop there. Want to ensure they actually enter an email? Our validation options are no joke. Prevent bogus entries before they even hit your database. And the real magic? Conditional logic. Show field B only if field A is checked. Hide the entire section if they select 'free download'. This means smarter, cleaner checkouts. It's control, pure and simple.
