Extend vehicle data with custom fields
Custom fields let you track additional vehicle information that isn't covered by the standard fields.
Creating Custom Fields
- Navigate to Settings
- Select Custom Fields
- Choose Vehicle as the entity type
- Click Add Field
- Enter the field name
- Save
Field names must be unique and can be up to 100 characters.
Managing Custom Fields
Reordering
Drag and drop custom fields to change their display order. The order affects how fields appear in the vehicle edit form and detail view.
Visibility Settings
Each custom field has visibility options:
- Visible - Field appears in the vehicle form
- Public - Field value displays on your storefront
Enable Public for information you want customers to see, such as warranty details or certification status.
Editing Field Names
- Click on the field name
- Enter the new name
- Save changes
Existing values are preserved when you rename a field.
Deleting Fields
- Click the delete button on a field
- Confirm deletion
Deleting a field removes all stored values for that field across all vehicles.
Using Custom Fields
Entering Values
- Open a vehicle
- Navigate to the Custom Fields tab
- Enter values for each field

Best Practices
